PREFATORY NOTE. 



Tiii: first printed Manual of the Soutli Church in Andover 
bears the date of December, 1812. It contained tlie Form 
of Admission, and tlie names of 268 members. A second 
Manual was issued May 12, 1834. It contained the names 
of 528 members, two pages of Historical Items, some account 
of the Church Order, the Answer of Rev. S. Phillips to the 
question, " What shall we do tliat we may keep in mind our 
Covenant?" and the Questions for Self-Examination. The 
Manual published in 1848 included nearly the same matter ; 
its Catalogue numbered 447 names. 

The present enlarged Manual has been prepared after pro- 
tracted labor. The records of the church, and parish, and 
town have been painfully searched. Free use has been made 
of tlie memories of old and young inhabitants, and of former 
residents. Abbott's History of Andovei-, and the Genealogi- 
cal Register of the Abbott Family, have been of constant

service. For the notices of tlie first three pastors, The An- 
nals of the American Pulpit, Alden's Epitaphs, Hallock's Life 
of Dr. Edwards, Taylor's Memoir of Judge Phillips, and the 
Memorial of the Semi-Centennial Celebration of the Foimd- 
ing of the Theological Seminary, have furnished largely both 
facts and language. The Deacons of the church have, from 
tlie beginning, been often consulted, and have fully cooper- 
ated, as far as jDossible, in the work. 

The compiler, not presuming that there are no mistakes, 
suspicions of numbei'less ways in which mistakes may creep 
in, does yet put the work to press in the belief that some 
iiseful facts have been rescued from oblivion, and in the hope 
also that some new interest may be excited in the not unim- 
portant matter of order in the Lord's House.

FORM OF ADMISSION. 



ADDRESS. 

Beloved Friends, — 

You have presented yourselves before God, and his people, 
and the world, to make a solemn profession of your religious 
faith, and to take upon you the bonds of the everlasting Cove- 
nant. We trust you have well considered the nature of this 
transaction — the most solemn and momentous in which a mortal 
can ever engage, and that you are prepared, by divine grace, to 
give yourselves away, as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable 
to God through Jesus Christ. 

You will noio attend to the 



CONFESSION OF FAITH. 

1. You believe in one only living and true God — the Father, 
Son, and Holy Ghost; and that it is the duty of all intelligent 
creatures to love and obey Him. 

2. You believe that the Bible is the Word of God ; that it was 
given by the inspiration of the Holy Ghost; and is the sufficient 
and only rule of faith and practice. 

3. You beheve that God created man upright ; you believe 
the fall of man, the depravity of human nature, and that men, 
unless they are bom again, can never see the kingdom of God. 

1* 



6 FORM OF ADMISSION. 

4. You believe in the incarnation, obedience, suffering, and 
death of Christ ; his resurrection and ascension ; that he alone, 
by his suffering and death, hath made atonement for sin ; and 
that he ever liveth to make intercession for us. 

5. You beljeve that Christ hath appointed two special ordi- 
nances — Baptism and the Lord's Supper. 

6. You believe in the future existence of the soul ; that there 
will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked — a 
day of final judgment ; that all will receive according to their 
works ; that the wicked will go away into everlasting punish- 
ment, and the righteous into life eternal. 

Thus, yoxi profess to believe. 

[Those who have not been baptized, here receive tlie ordinance of Baiitisra.] 

You will now enter into solemti Covenant with God and with 
this Church. 



COVENANT. 

You now, humbly and penitently asking the forgiveness of all 
your sins, through the blood of the great Redeemer, give up 
yourselves to God, in an everlasting Covenant, in our Lord 
Jesus Christ ; and as in the presence of God, angels, and men, 
you solemnly promise, that by the assistance of the Holy Spirit, 
you will forsake the vanities of this present evil world, and 
approve yourselves true disciples of Jesus Christ, in all good 
carriage toward God, and toward man. 

And you likewise promise, so long as God shall continue you 
among us, to walk in communion with the Church of Christ in 
this place ; to watch over other professing Christians among us ; 
to submit to the power and discipline of Christ in his Church, and 
duly to attend the seals and the censures, or whatever ordinance 
Christ has connuandod to be observed by his people, so far as 
the Lord, by his Word and Spirit, has revealed, or shall reveal 



FORM OF ADMISSION. 7 

to you to be your duty ; adorning the doctrine of God our 
Saviour in all things, and aToiding the appearance of evil ; and 
by daily prayer to Almighty God, in tlie name of his Son Jesus 
Christ, you will seek for grace to keep this Covenant. 

Thtis, you covenant and promise. 

We, therefore, the members of this Church [all the members 
of the Church here rise), affectionately receive you to our com- 
munion and fellowship ; and on our part, engage to watch over 
your spiritual interests, and walk with you, in all the ordinances 
of the gospel as becometh saints. And may God of his infinite 
mercy give us grace to be faithful to him, and faithful to each 
other, while we live ; that we may be admitted, at last, through 
the merits of Christ, to the everlasting fellowship of saints and 
angels, in the presence of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. 
Amen. 



PRINCIPLES AND RULES OF CHURCH ORDER. 



1. A Christian Church is an association of professed followers 
of Christ, organized for the purposes of mutual watchfulness, tlie 
observance of the Cliristian Sacraments, the maintenance of 
Christian worship and instruction, and the extension of the king- 
dom of Christ in the world : such a body under Christ is fully- 
competent to choose its officers, admit its members, administer 
discipline, and do all other acts necessary to the attainment of 
these purposes. 

2. A Church, though thus independent of external authority, 
is bound in relations of mutual care and communion with other 
churches : and this Church will, in all ordinary cases, conform to 
the usages of fellowship as established among the Congregational 
Churches. 

3. The permanent officei's of a Church are a Pastor or Pas- 
tors, and Deacons. This Church also appoints a Church Com- 
mittee, to examine candidates for admission and to secure a 
faithful attention to discijjline. 

4. The Church Committee consists of the Pastor, the Dea- 
cons, and four other brethren. The last are chosen for four 
years, and their terms of office are so fixed that one vacancy 
occurs every year. No one of tliese is to be elected two imme- 
diately successive terms. Tlie Committee choose annually, from 
their own number, the Clerk and Treasurer of the Church. 

5. Persons applying for membership are approved by the 
Church Committee, and having been propounded for at least 
two Sabl^aths, are admitted by vote taken on the afternoon of 



PRINCIPLES AND RULES OF CHURCH ORDER. 9 

the Preparatory Lecture : and become members on publicly con- 
senting to the confession of faith and covenant. 

6. Those who bring letters of recommendation from other 
churches, submit their letters to the Church Committee : if 
approved, they are propounded two weeks and received to fellow- 
ship by vote taken on the afternoon of the Preparatory Lecture. 

7. All members of this Church, removed to other towns or 
attendant at other places of worship in this town, are expected 
to ask for a recommendation and dismission to the church with 
which they are worshipping, within one year after their removal, 
unless excused by the Church Committee. 

8. Members of other churches, wishing to commune with this 
Church for more than one year, are desired to request a dismis- 
sion and recommendation to this Church, unless there be special 
reasons for delay. 

9. The occasions of discipline are of two kinds — Private, as 
wrong done to an individual ; Public, as wrong done to the 
Church by immoral conduct, and cherished disbelief of the fun- 
damental doctrines of the Bible. 

10. The rules of Christ, as enjoined Matt. 18 : 15 — 17, are to 
be literally followed by members of this Church in all cases of 
private offence-; and the spirit of these rules is to govern all disci- 
plinary processes in relation to members guilty of other offences. 

11. This Church has had and still has occasion to specify 
and condemn long-continued absence from its communion and 
worship, failure to share the support of its religious institu- 
tions, neglect of family prayer, the sale or use of ardent spirits, 
except for mechanical, medicinal and sacramental purposes, the 
holding of men in slavery, and the defence of the system of 
American slavery. 

12. The censures of the Church are admonition and excom- 
munication : Admonition may be administered privately or pub- 
licly, according to the circumstances of the case. Excommuni- 
cation is simply the withdrawal of fellowship, and should be as 
severe as the particular instance may demand. 



10 PRINCIPLES AND RULES OF CHURCH ORDER. 

13. The Annual Meeting of the Church is on the second Mon- 
day of January. 

1 4. The weekly prayer meeting of the Church is on Wednes- 
day evening, 

15. The Lord's Supper is administered in the afternoon of the 
first Sabbath in January, March, May, July, September and 
November. 

1 6. The Preparatory Lecture is on the Friday afternoon next 
preceding each communion Sabbath. 

17. The Church, whenever they come to the table of the 
Lord, cordially invite those who are in regular standing as 
members of other churches, of whatever name or denomination, 
to unite with them in celebrating his love. 

18. Baptism is administered to adults at the time of their 
profession of faith, and to the children of the Church on the 
afternoon of communion, and at such other times as parents find 
more convenient for presenting them. 

The above Principles and Rules were adopted at the Annual 
Meeting, Jan. 17, 1859. 

a. The Church also elect annually a Sabbath School Commit- 
tee, Avho provide for the superintendence of the School, and 
attend to all its other interests, which may be presented to them. 
A Sabbath School Librarian is annually elected by the Church. 

b. The Church likewise, each year, pass a vote specifying the 
chief objects of benevolence for which collections shall be taken, 
and the times of taking them. Collectors are appointed by the 
Pastor, in different sections of the Parish. 

c. A small fund, the donation of Rev. Samuel Phillii'S, and 
Samuel AunoxT, Esq., is held in trust, by the Pastor and Dea- 
cons of the Church, the avails of which, together with such a 
number of the collections taken up after the celebration of the 
Lord's Supper as the Church direct, are distributed among the 
poor, especially the poor of the Church, according to their ne- 
cessities. 



ANSWER 

OF THE 

FIRST PASTOR OP TllE CHURCH, REV. SAMUEL PHILLIPS, 

TO THE QUESTION, 

WHAT SHALL WE 10, THAT WE MAY KEEP IN MLND OUR COVENANT? 



1. Very diligently and devoutly attend to the Covenant, when- 
soever it is publicly propounded to any person ; and yield your 
assent and consent to every article and tittle of it. 

2. Not only wait upon Christ, at his table, on all opportuni- 
ties ; but always eye the Lord's Supper as the seal of the Cov- 
enant. And every time you partake, realize that you have 
bound yourselves afresh to keep covenant with God; for, to 
take the sacrament, is to take the oath of obedience and loyalty. 

3. Look upon the holy Scriptures, in your daily reading of 
them, as the book of the Covenant ; for so it is, inasmuch as it * 
exhibiteth our duty towards God and man ; and also, what we 
may hope and expect to receive from the hand of God, if we 
keep his statutes. Exod. 24 : 7. 

4. Labor to have it impressed and fixed upon your minds, 
that heaven and cartli are witnesses of your covenanting with 
the gx-eat God ; and that God, angels, and men, will cei'tainly 
appear as such, either for or against you, in the day of reck- 
oning. 

o. Discourse frequently together of the things pertaining to 
the kingdom of God ; and particularly of the Covenant, viz. : 



12 REV. MR. Phillips's answer. 

the precepts, prohibitions, promises and threatenings ; of the 
vows, which you have m^de, and the comfortable experience, 
which you and others have had of God's gracious presence, etc. 
This practice will be of eminent service to help the memory, as 
also to quicken unto obedience. 

6. Frequently renew your covenant with the Lord in secret, 
as becomes those who resolve to stand to what they have said ; — 
this is not only the duty, but, I should think, will be also very 
much the delight, of a sincere soul; and a choice help it is, to re- 
vive our remembrance of the Covenant, and to excite our affec- 
tions ; and to quicken us to mend our pace. 

7. Keep your Covenant by you, as a memorial of the solemn 
transactions which have passed between God and you, and fre- 
quently review the same. 

8. And lastly, prayer, must always be one direction. And 
this duty must be attended and performed, not only in public, 
and in and with the families, which you respectively belong unto, 
but also in secret ; — Thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy 
closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father, tvhich 
is in secret. Matt. 6 : 6. This duty of secret prayer I hope you 
do not dare to neglect ; you cannot, I think, ordinarily omit it, 
if you have a living, holy principle within you. Well ; and you 
must pray especially for spiritual blessings ; and in particular, 
that the Lord would please to put his law in your inward parts, 
and write it in your hearts ; " that he would make it ready and 
familiar to you, at hand when you have occasion to use it, as that 
which is written in the heart ; — that He would work in you 
a strong disposition to obedience, and an exact conformity of 
thought and aifection to the rules of the divine law, as that of 
the copy to the original." You have a disposition this way 
already ■ — pray that it may abide and grow, and plead that pre- 
cious promise in Jer. 31 : 33 ; and, the more you are disposed 
this way, the less danger will tliore be of your forgetting the 
Covenant of the Lord your God. 



REV. MR. Phillips's answer. IB 

Use. — From what has been said, let professors be exhorted. 
to put one another in mind of their Covenant duties and obliga- 
tions. It is true, we may not watch over others, and neglect 
ourselves, as some, to their great reproach, are said to xlo ; 
neither may our chai'ity end at home ; for the law of God 
obliges us to love our neighbor as ourselves. And again it is 
written. Exhort one another daily. — And it is remarked con- 
cerning those that fear the Lord, that they spake often one to 
another ; Mai. 3:16. — And have we not expressly bound our- 
selves, by Covenant, to watch over one another ? Yes, verily : 
How then shall we dare neglect it ; especially considering that a 
great deal of sin and sorrow might, probably, be prevented, if 
professors would in this way be kind and faithful to one another ? 
Thus, for instance : when a neighbor or brother is observed to be 
going into temptation, or in present danger of falling into some 
transgression, it is not improbable that these words, spoken, in a 
suitable manner, in his hearing. Remember your Covenant, would 
prevent his fall ; or, if he has already fallen, it may be those words 
would be the means of recovering him out of the snare of the 
devil; and of bringing him unto unfeigned repentance. — And 
so — if you see a brother, backward to any good work, respecting 
either God or man — perhaps this memento would shame and 
quicken. Now, we are undoubtedly obliged to do this, and much 
more, to prevent each other's hurt, and to promote each other's 
good ; ! let us not be negligent.

HISTORICAL SKETCHES 



PARISH AND CHURCH 



I. 

ORGANIZATION OF THE SOUTH PAKISH. 

The town of Andover, embracing the present towns of Andover 
and North Andover, and the south portion of the city of Law- 
rence, was settled as early as 1643. " The Church of Andover " 
was organized Oct. 24, 1645. The first meeting-house was built 
near the old burying ground in North Andover, and stood till 
1711. The larger portion of the inhabitants, for several years 
after the settlement, resided in that part of the town. When, 
however, in 1707, it was thought necessary to build a new meet- 
ing-house, the votes of the town show that the bulk of population 
was in the southerly part. For, " Sept. 9, 1707, voted to set the 
meeting-house on the spot of ground near the wood called Holt's 
wood, where the cross-paths meet at the south-west corner of 
George Abbot's ground." Forty-five residents and proprietors 
immediately petitioned to the General Court against this vote, al- 
leging that the spot was not central, that the consent of the pro- 
prietors had not been obtained, and that such a distance would

18 HISTORICAL SKETCHES. 

greatly incommode the Rev. Mr. Barnard, who lived near the 
old meeting-house. Dec. 29, 1707, the town appointed a com- 
mittee " to attend the gentlemen of the General Court's Com- 
mittee, to view the places, and reply to allegations of the peti- 
tioners." Feb. 27, 1708, commissioners were chosen to take the 
valuation of the state of the town, in obedience to an act of the 
General Court. On taking a vote, the same day, to see if the 
town would set the meeting-house differently, the same spot was 
chosen as before. Another attempt was made to reverse the 
decision Oct. 12, 1708, but it was " voted to build in the same 
place : 88 votes, casting vote was number 24." After another 
hearing before the General Court, that body ordered, Nov. 2, 
1 708, that the town be " forthwith divided into two distinct pre- 
cincts, and that Col. [Francis] Wainwright, Maj. [Stephen] 
Sewall, Maj. [Henry] Somersby, and Nehcmiah Jewett, Esq., 
be a committee to perform that division and make it equal for 
north and south precincts, within the space of two montlis, next 
coming, unless in the interim the town agree thereon and make 
it themselves, and that thereupon the north division take the 
present meeting-house and repair and add to it as they please. 

" That there be forthwith laid out for the minister of the south 
precinct fourteen acres of land for a house lot, and forty acres 
at a further distance, part of it lowland, to make meadow, of the 
common land in said precinct, wliich will make them equal to the 
other division, to be for the use of the ministry forever. 

" That the inhabitants and proprietors of the south division 
build a convenient meeting-house for their own use. and a minis- 
try house. 

*' Upon all which Mr. Barnard, the present minister, shall 
declare his choice of which congregation he will officiate in, and 
that precinct, north or south, shall fully and wholly perform the 
past contract of the town with him, and the other precinct or 
division of the town shall call and settle another minister for 
themselves. 

" And (he inhabitants of the respective precincts and divisions 



ORGANIZATION OF THE SOUTH PARISH. 10 

are hereby impowered to make choice of some discreet persons 
among themselves, as committees, to manage and govern their 
affairs with respect to building a meeting-house and ministry 
house, the making assessments to defray the charge thereof, and 
for the support of the ministry, and to appoint collectors to gather 
the same ; — and are advised and directed to proceed in these 
several articles with that peace and friendship, one towards 
another, that tliey may honor religion and the government, and 
themselves." 

The committee thus appointed ran the following boundary 
line, as reported to the General Court, April 12, 1709 : " Begin- 
ning at a great pitch pine tree, near Merrimack River, marked 
with stones about it, and the west corner of Richard Barker's 
land, and is said to be the bounds between his land and John Gut- 
terson's land, so called, from said pine tree on a straight line to 
a stake and heap of stones about it at the corner bounds between 
Walter Wright and Hooker Osgood, and from thence on a straight 
line to a white oak tree marked A and R, being a bound tree be- 
tween said town of Andover and Reading, with stones about it, 
standing on a hill known as Osgood's Hill." 

A protracted controversy ensued with regard to six or seven 
persons whose dwelling-houses were near this line. The points 
in contention were settled by mutual agreement Nov. 7, 1711. 
The line was renewed by a mutual committee of the parishes, 
Oct. 7, 175-1. 

The town delaying, if not refusing, to lay out the land and 
lot ordered by the General Court, that body, on petition of the 
south precinct, appointed, Feb. 16, 1710, the committee above 
mentioned to do it. Nov. 7, 1710, the south precinct petitioned 
also that Mr. Barnard might be directed to choose his precinct, 
and the General Court desired him " to do so before the eleventh 
of December, or that then the south precinct provide for them- 
selves." Mr. Barnard remained in the noi'th precinct. 

The first meeting of the new precinct was warned by John 
Abbot, Joseph Ballard, George Abbot, Francis Dane, John

MEETING-HOUSES. 27

MEETING-HOUSES. 

The first business of the precinct was " to see whether we can 
agree where to set our new Meeting-House." Some action had 
doubtless been taken concerning its erection previously to the 
incorporation of the Parish. It was accepted Oct. 18, 1709, 
" where it now is raised and stands, viz. : at y* Rock on the west 
side of Roger brook." ^ £108 were levied to defray the charges 
of building. It was occupied for worship, January 1710. No 
account of its size and style is preserved. " Young men and 
maids had liberty to build seats round in the galleries on their 
own charge." In " seating the meeting-house " the committee 
appointed for the purpose were to act " according to their best 
and soundest judgment, having respect to money and age." 
May 12, 1734, was the last Sabbath of worship in the old house. 
Mr. Phillips preached from John 14 : 31 1. c. "Arise, let us go 
hence." 

A vote was obtained in 1731, to "make an addition of room 
within the present meeting-house." April 1732, it was decided 
to make the addition on the outside of the house. This decision 
was i-econsidered June 6, 1732, and it was "voted and passed, 
that the precinct will build a new meeting-house upon the school- 
house hill : known and commonly called Roger's hill." ^ An 
attempt was made in March of the following year to set the 

1 The rock here mentioned was ne:u- tlie site of the present Centre School 
House, and was removed in the year 1844. 

It should seem that this brook took its name from an Indian, in whose favor, 
in the original grant of the town, the following reservation was made: " I'ro- 
vided, that the Indian called Kogek, and his company, may have liberty to 
take alewives in Cochichewick River, for their own eating: but if they either 
spoil or steal any corn or other fruit, to any considerable value, of the inhabi- 
tants, the liberty of taking fish shall forever cease; and the said Roger is still 
to^njoy four acres of ground, where now he plants." — Col. Records.

house in the centre of the precinct, and the spot proposed was 
"the •westerly end of Dea. Jno. Abbot's lot." Twentj-four 
votes were cast for this spot, and sixty-five against it. The 
committee for carrying on the work of this house were Barachias 
Farnum, Benjamin Abbot, Zebadiah Chandler, Timothy Holt, 
Henry Holt, Dea. John Abbot, Timothy Mooar, Bea Nehemiah 
Abbot, and John Chandler. Five members of the committee 
were made a quorum. They seem not to have troubled them- 
selves or the precinct with a comparison of many plans. It was 
simply determined to build the new house " after the same form 
and fashion " as the old. Its size was fixed by a second vote at 
" thirty feet between plate and sill, and forty-four feet wide, 
and fifty-six feet in length." Mr. Phillips preached the first 
sermon in it May 19, 1734, from 1 Chron. 29:13, 14. The 
delicate matter of " seating the meeting-house " was the occsision 
of several parish meetings during the whole year following. 
The proposition to sell pews was decisively dismissed. The 
lease of seats was once voted, but afterwards refused. It was 
proposed to seat " altogether by age," but it "passed en tlie 
negative." The privilege that the tax-payers should take tlieir 
seats " according as the money was cast up by one head and rale 
of personal estate," was denied. Finally, the matter was ad- 
justed by appointing one committee " to dignify seats and pews," 
and another committee to seat them " by their judgment, having 
respect to money and age." The report of this committee was ac- 
cepted, with but eight dissentients. This mode was adopted sub- 
stantially till 1757. That year, permission was given to tax-; ay- 
ers to choose their own pews, according to their rates, but tliis 
significant qualification was ordered : " to take off the money that 
is ])aid for negroes, and not allow their masters that money to 
seat upon." In 17G1 several changes were made in the arrange- 
ment and number of pews. The next year pews were sold, and 
llie lii^diest tax-payers were given the choice; tliirty-three were 
sold, and the fcllowing persons were the purchasers, in the order 
of their assessments " in the last province rate :" John Foster,

house continued to be chosen by the highest tax-payers as 
before. The scholars in Phillips Academy were allowed, in 
1781, "the three back seats in the lower front gallery." 

The following graphic description of this house, as it appeared 
to one of these scholars, is taken from a letter of Hon. Josiah 
Quincy to Mrs. H. B. Stowe : 

" It was surrounded by horse-blocks innumerable, with a dis- 
proportionate number of sheds ; — for the pillion was the ladies' 
travelling delight, and alone or in pairs, with their husbands or 
fathers, they seldom failed to come trooping to their devotions. 
The church itself was a shingled mass, lofty, and, I should think, 
containing twice the area of its successor. This, however, may 
be the exaggeration of my boyish fancy, but it had three lofty 
. stories, with three galleries in the interior, always densely filled 
with apparently pious zeal, and earnest listeners. In the left 
hand gallery sat the ladies, in the right the gentlemen, in the 
midst of whom and in front sat the tything man, with his white 
pole three or four cubits in length, the emblem of his dignity 
and power, and in his right hand a short hazel rod, which, ever 
and anon, in the midst of the sermon, to the awakening and alarm 
of the whole congregation, he would, with the whole force of his 
arm, bring down with a ringing slap on the front of the gallery, 
shaking it, at the same time, with a terrific menace, at two or 
three frightened urchins who were whispering or playing in a 
corner. In a square box in front of the pulpit sat the Deacons, 
one of whom had pen, ink and paper, and was carefully taking 
3*

the heads of the preacher's discourse, preparing documentary 
evidence, either that the sermon was old, or its doctrines new, or 
consonant with the orthodox platform. In the front gallery sat 
Precenter Ames, or Eames, with a pitch-pipe, the token of his 
authority, with which, as soon as the first line of the Psalm was 
read, he gave the note to the choir of both sexes, — twenty or 
thirty of each, — following the Deacon, reading line by line in an 
ecstasy of harmony which none but the lovers of music realize : 

" How pleased and blest was I 
To hear the people cry 
Come let us worship God to-day, — 
Yes, with a cheei-ful zeal 
We '11 haste to Zion's hill, 
And there our vows and homage pay. 
Zion, thrice happy place, etc., etc. 

And the mighty congregation seemed to realize their felicity, for 
they joined the choir with a will, realizing or exemplifying the 
happiness of which they sung. It is true, as Washington Irving 
relates, concerning a like assembly in an English country parish, 
sometimes when they began — 

" Come, let us sing with one accord," 

it was a signal for parting company, and every one setting up 
for himself. Yet, upon the whole, it was an exciting scene, 
elevating and solemnizing the mind, by the multitude that took 
part in it. 

" The windows of the vast building were of diamond-shaped 
glass panes, of rhomboid form, in length abottt three or four 
inches, in breadth perhaps two or three. Opening like doors 
outward, these windows were loose and shackling. In the win- 
ter, when the north wind shook tlie vast building with unmistak- 
able power, their rattling was often a match, and sometimes an 
overmatch, for the voice of tlie clergyman, while the pious fe- 
males in the pews, sitting, for the most part, on hard benches, 
with f mall muffs, and their feet only comforted with small stoves,

or stockings ovei* shoes, or heated bricks, had much ado through 
their sufferings to keep their attention fixed, or the text in 
memory, and register the infinitesimal heads into which it was 
divided." 

The last time of meeting in the second house was April 20, 
1788. The last sermon was from Hag. 1:7,8. For thirty- 
two Sabbaths afterwards the congregation worshipped at the hall 
of Phillips Academy. 

As early as September 1771, the parish began to be agitated 
concerning a new meeting-house. A portion of the inhabitants 
were " burthened with length of travel to the public worship." 
Several proposals concerning the division of the parish on this 
account " were passed in the negative." April 14, 1772, "voted 
to build a new meeting-house sufiicient to accommodate the whole 
parish, and to set it on the eastwardly side of Shawshin river, as 
near the bridge called Holt's bridge as a convenient place may 
be found, and to build said house in ten yeai's from this time." 
The year before, it had been voted to set the house on the west- 
wardly side of the bridge, " northwest of Mr. Jas. Holt's house." 
After twelve years had passed, it was decided to build " within six 
or eight rods where the meeting-house now stands." At the 
same time, March 4, 1784, money was raised and a committee 
appointed to provide the materials. A committee was chosen 
the next year to prepare a plan for the house. The meeting, 
however, which chose this committee, was adjourned from time 
to time for almost three years, and it was not till Dec. 1787 
that the decisive votes were passed accepting the plan and the 
proposals made to the Parish for building the present meeting- 
house. The dimensions were to be seventy feet in length and 
fifty-four feet in width, " with a porch at each end and one in 
front of the house." The house was modelled after that in the 
North Parish. The plan was revised and completed by Hon. 
Samuel Phillips, Jr., Mr. Joshua Chandler, Mr. Nehenaiah Ab- 
bot, Mr. Jonathan Cummings, Capt. Jonathaa Abbot, Capt. Dan- 
iel Poor, Mr. Joseph Stevens, Jr., Mr. Joseph Holt, and Capt.

Benjamin Ames. The proposals for building were made by the 
same persons, adding INIr. Isaac Abbot, and excepting Mr. Ste- 
vens and Capt. Ames, and were accepted as follows : '' The 
abovesaid undertakers to build said- house shall have the old 
meeting-house, £100 in money, and the pews in the new meet- 
ing-house." They " agree that the work and stuff .... shall be 
good, nothing superfluous, but plain and neat, not have any 
medallions, dentals or carved work, but to have the window 
frames and sashes painted, and the ground pinning as good as 
that of the North Parish." The frame was raised May 2Gth 
and 27th, 1788. The congregation met in it for worship for the 
first time Dec. 7, 1788. The sermon was preached by Mr. 
French, from John 10 : 22, 23. It should seem that the steeple 
of the house was built by subscription. The Parish voted to 
allow this to be done. The cupola was built by tax, in the 
spring of 1792. June 11, 1792, Samuel Abbot, Esq., communi- 
cated the fact that from regard to this his native place, and out 
of resj^ect to them, among whom he hoped, by leave of Provi- 
dence, to spend the remainder of his days, he had procured a 
bell of about 1100 pounds weight, and begged' their acceptance 
of the same. Samuel Phillips, Nehemiah Abbot and Joshua 
Holt were appointed to convey to him the thanks of the Parish. 
March 5, 1812, the same person presented and placed in the tower 
of the church a clock. In his letter he says, " May it prove a 
convenience to you and your children in the business of life, and 
a salutary monitor of a careful improvement of that time which is 
continually passing away, and can never be recalled." This 
bell cracked not long afterwards, and the present one was bought 
in the year 1813. A stove was procured for the first time in 
1821. A building had been erected on the site of the present 
school-house several years before, in which the people were 
accustomed to warm themselves at noon before the open fire. 

In the first arrangement of this liouse the pulpit was on the 
north side. Over it hung a plain sounding-board. The inscrip- 
tion. Holiness hecometh thine house, Lord, forever Ps. xciii. 5,

was conspicuous above upon the wall, and the three letter?, 
I. H. S., were written upon the pulpit below. At the base of 
the pulpit were the Deacons' seats, and near by were a few 
seats where the aged gathered near to the minister. The rest 
.of the lower floor was covered by square pews. Of these there 
were in 1833 seventy-one. The gallery was on three sides, and 
a tier of square pews, twenty-six in number, extended its entire 
length. Ten of these, in the east and west galleries, were 
erected in place of long pews in 1823. The rest of the space 
in the gallery was occupied with the long pews, which were 
free. The square pews were owned as private property. 

In the fall of 1832 the Parish appointed Thomas C. Foster, 
Abraham J. Gould, Job Abbot, Joseph Holt, Jr., and Natlianiel 
AVhittier, to obtain a correct plan and estimate of the expense of 
altering the meeting-house. The plan which they presented was 
adopted, and in Sept. 1833 they reported the actual cost of the 
changes made as 1^2971.63. A committee consisting of William 
Blanchard, of Wilmington, Benjamin Osgood, of Methuen, and 
Jesse Kimball, of Bradford, appraised the ninety-seven old pews 
at |;99o6, and the 136 new pews, ninety below and forty-six 
above, at ^12,978. Seats, besides these, were reserved for the 
singers. The organ now in use was purchased by the Parish in 
1836. The clock within the house was presented in 1832 by 
Mrs. IMary Ballard. Various attempts have been made, from 
1845 to the present time, to remove, reconstruct the old, as also 
to build a new church, but the old building still stands. The 
front porch was removed during the changes of 1833. The 
pulpit, also, was transferred to the west end, the galleries 
changed to correspond, and the square pews gave place to 
the modern ones. 

The vestry was built by individuals, in 1815, at the sugges- 
tion of Rev. Mr. Edwards, and under the direction of the stand- 
ing committee of the Church. The Church appropriated towards 
finishing it $300. In 1855 it was relinquished by the Church to 
the Parisli. Daring the autumn of that year it was repaired.

THE PARSONAGE AND THE MINISTERIAL FUND. 

The committee, appointed by the General Court for the pur- 
pose, laid out, May 24, 1710, fifty-four acres of land for the use 
of the ministry : one piece of fourteen acres, for a homestead, 
whose west corner bound was a great rock, now forming part 
of the wall at the north corner of School and Central Streets — 
a parcel of eight acres, adjoining the south end of the first — a 
piece of swamp and upland, of twelve acres, to make a meadow 
ground, about half a mile south-east of the second — a piece, one 
mile distant from the ministry house, of twenty acres, " on a ris- 
ing ground where a smith's shop stood formerly." The ministry 
house had been raised already, and had been voted to be " forty- 
three feet long, twenty feet wide, and fourteen feet stud." Taxes 
were levied, from time to time, to clear the land and break it up, 
to plant an orchard, to dig the well and make the fences. Xn- 
rious changes were made in the house and its outbuildings by 
the Parish. A committee was annually ai>pointed to have the 
care of it, together with that of the other property. A stone 
chimney was built in it in 1754. The same year sash-glass 
took the place of the " diamond-glass, set in lead." It was first 
painted in 1757. Thorough repairs were made in 1773. As 
early as 1803 the Parish consulted wdth Mr. French to see if he 
was " willing that any part of the parsonage land should be sold 
for house-lots." That year it was twice voted 7iot to sell, if Mr. 
French was willing. But Dec. 25, 1809, five months after his 
death, a committee was authoi'ized to petition the Legislature for 
liberty to sell. Samuel Farrar, Esq., was the chairman of this 
committee, and was appointed to present tlic petition to the Leg- 
islature. That body passed, Feb. 16, 1810, the following act, in 
the form drafted by the parish committee. 

'•An act to authorize the sale of parsonage lands, in the South

Tru;(ees be, and liereby are, autliorized to sell and convey 
the whole or any part of said real estate, and to make, execute 
and acknov/ledge a good and sufficient deed or deeds thereof:

above prescribed : and the remaining five-sixths of the said inter- 
est or annual income be annually paid to the regularly ordained 
minister or ministers of said Parish, in such manner as said 
Parish may direct : unless the said Parish, at a legal meeting, 
for that purpose duly assembled, shall direct the whole of said 
income, or any part thereof, more than one-sixth, to be ])ut at

SiiC. 5. Be it further enacted, that the said fund shall always 
be holden and claimed to be inalienable, and shall never be used

fund aforesaid : but, if entitled to any, shall have and receive 
the same of said Parish, as may be annually agreed upon. 

Sec. 6. Be it further enacted, that the said Trustees shall 
cause to be recorded and kept, in their book of record, by their

thereof, and the donor's or grantor's name and place of abode at 
large, with such other circumstances as tliey may think useful 
and proiier to distinguish the same, and perj)etuate the remem- 
brance thereof: and they shall make report of such statements 
to the inhabitants of said Parish, at their meeting in the month 
of Mai-ch or April annually, where the same shall be publicly 
read : or to a select committee, if said Parish shall choose one 
for that purpose ; together with a specific estimate of what estate 
they actually hold, and by what tenure : what money and effects 
are due to them, and how the same are secured ; what receipts 
have been obtained, and what payments made by them the pre- 
ceding year. 

Skc. 7. Be it further enacted, that the said Trustees shall 
always loan uj^on interest all the money belonging to said fund, 
in sums of not less than two hundred dollars each, except from

and for the term of one year, upon the bond or note of the bor- 
rower, with a mortgage of real estate, situated either in the 
county of Essex, Suffolk or Middlesex, of three times the value 
of the sum loaned, as collateral security for the repayment of the 
principal simi, with interest annually till paid : Provided, how- 
ever, that when any of the aforesaid parsonage land shall be sold 
upon a credit, and with the expectation that improvements will 
be immediately made upon it, it shall be sufficient to have a 
mortgage of the estate sold, with an approved surety with the 
principal : and if any debtor to said corporation shall fail to 
pay the interest due on his bond or note for the space of thirl}'^ 
days after the same shall become due, it shall be the duty of said 
Treasurer to cause such bond or mortgage to be put in suit, and 
prosecuted till it shall be obtained. 

Sec. 8. Be it further enacted, that it shall be the duty of

in the management or disposition thereof, whereby the same 
shall be impaii-ed or suffer loss, waste or diminution : and the 
inhabitants of said Parish may have and maintain a special 
action of the case against the proper persons of said Trustees 
and their goods and estate, for such negligence or misconduct, 
and recover adequate damages therefor : and any sum, so recov- 
ered, shall be for the benefit of said fund, and shall be paid ac- 
cordingly. 

Sec. 9. Be it further enacted, that Joshua Chandler, 
Esquire, be, and he is hereby, authorized to appoint the time 
and place of the first meeting of said Trustees, and to notify 
them accordingly : and said meetings, after the first, shall be 
called in such a way and manner as the said Trustees shall 
direct. 

At tlie time of incorporating these Trustees there were, ac- 
cording to a committee's report, six pieces of land, making in all 
over ninety-eight acres. This landed property was soon sold, 
and the fund arising from the sale was yearly, till 1833, in- 
creased by one-sixth of the income from it. In that year the 
Parish obtained an act from the Legislature authorizing the use 
of the whole income for the support of the gospel. When the 
"West Parish was formed, in 1827, the income of the fund was 
divided between the Parishes, the West Parish receiving three- 
eighths. The whole amount of the fund at the present time, 
1859, is $16,627.26. 

The successive Members and Treasurers of the Board of 
Trustees of this fund, with the dates of their election and of their 
resignation or decease, are given in the following tables.

Besides this ministerial fund, and divided to the Parishes, .so 
that the South Parish receives t\vo-tliird.>, is the fund for the 
poor, arising from the legacy of Rev. S. Phillips, of £100, and 
from the gift, March 18, 1812, by Samuel Abbot, E^q., of $500. 
This fund yields yearly $50, and is distributed in January of 
each year by the minister and deacons of each Parish. 



SUPPORT OF THE MINISTRY. 41 

IV. 

SUPPORT OF THE MINISTRY. 

For a few months after tlie employment of a minister he was 
supported by voluntary contribution. " Nov. 20, 1710, voted 
and passed, that the precinct would raise sixty pounds for to pay 
a minister for the year ensuing, or else one-third part of our 
country tax instead of the sixty pounds, and to pay it quarterly." 
On the choice of Mr. Phillips as settled minister a month later, 
it was voted to pay him " sixty pounds in money a year while he 
carries on the work of the ministry among us in an unmarried 
state, and when he shall see reason to marry, then to add to his 
salary ten pounds a year." The Parish pledged itself besides 
" to build and maintain the parsonage houses, and make good 
and sufficient fence upon the parsonage land, and the minister is 
to maintain it as long as he improves it." In the event of Mr. 
Phillips's death, leaving a widow and children, the promise was 
made of fifty pounds and half the parsonage house for one yeai*. 
When his death took place, however, this agreement was some- 
what modified, and the modification may not have been any real 
abatement from the generosity of the Parish. The widow was 
allowed the use of the lands and buildings for somewhat less than 

a year, " provided she entertain ministers and their horses 

and also that she cut the bushes well in the pasture and spend 
the hay on the place." It is added, " She manifested her accep- 
tance of said vote." 

It will throw some light on the real value of this provision for 
Mr. P.'s support, as compared with salaries of the present time? 
if it is known that those persons who chose to work out their tax 
for the clearing of the parsonage land, were allowed " one shilling 
and six pence ' a day." Besides, then, the use of a large par- 
sonage house and farm, Mr. Phillips received money enough 
yearly to pay for 933^ days' work on a farm.

42 HISTORICAL SKETCHES. 

Twenty pounds were added to his salary in 1710 and 1720, 
" because bills of credit ran low." His salary was £80 in the 
years 1723-25. " Salary and contributions" in 172G were £102 
10s. 1727-30 he received £100. By contribution, in 1731, he 
received £119 9s. He acknowledges the receipt, 1732-3G, 
of £120 ; 1737, of £130, and 1738, of £140. The Parish voted 
him, 1740-42, £100,174.3-46, £200, 1747, £220, 1748, £300, 
1749, £400. These sums were in what was called "old Tenor," 
and were not equivalent to " lawful money." Fi'om 1750 to his 
death he received £70 lawful money, except in 1764, when he 
received £76. 

In his Election Sermon, preached in 1750, Mr. Phillips sug- 
gests, as " a tender point " to the " honoured Fathers " of the 
Commonwealth, that " they consider at their leisure whether 
the generality of the people do not live in the sin of detaining 
from their ministers a part of their just due," adding, what is 
a rather doubtful compliment to his own people, " not that I 
am under suffering circumstances myself, having, through the 
mercy of God, some other small means." He understood the 
art of living in the Avorld, for we read, '' he was so economical 
as to blow out his candle when he began his evening prayer, 
and yet punctilious in distributing among the poor a full tenth 
of his income, of Avhich he kept account." That "he kept ac- 
count" we have from many sources the fullest evidence. The 
Parish were almost annually made aware of his rigor and skill 
in this matter. He was accustomed to memorialize them on 
the subject of their arrearages, and several of these memorials 
are pi*escrved among the Parish papers, written in the neatest 
and most beautiful hand, and punctilious to the jot and tittle. 
The following specimen may well be given here.

nr ss for me, y' in years past I sent in one Memorial after another, 
frequently entreating that Justice might be done me with regard to my 
Salary. But yet they went on to Vote as they pleased, and so have 
bro't hemselves into Difliculty ; and I am exceeding Sorry for your 
Sakes, as well as for the Damage w* I have Sustained thereby. 

" And Whereas, Brethren, you have, it Seems, at your Meeting in 
Murcli last, without any Motion fiom me, made choice of a Committee 
to compute the Arrears of my Salary, and to make Report of y"" same 
to 30U : — AVhich they having done at another Meeting, you then pro- 
ceeded to choose another Committee to lay y' Same before me, in 
order to see orx What Terms I would Settle with if Parish. And ac- 
cordingly the Gentlemen have been with me, and laid your Account 
before me ; By w* it evidently appears, that after the Deduction is 
made of y" Sum, w°'' you have in late years over-paid my Original Sal- 
ary, there Remains Due to me, viz. : in Old Ten'', the sum of £3954 
3s. 9d. 2q. I then Enquired of y"" Committee Whether the s'^ Sum 
was to be looked upon as Exclusive of Interest ? The Answer was 
given in the Affirmative : I then Enquired whether any objection had 
been made in their Meeting, against the Whole, or any Part of the s'* 
Computation ? The Answer given was, that they knew not of any. 

" So then, it appears. Brethren, from your own Proceedings, that you 
do, in effect, acknowledge, that the said Sum is justly and honestly my 
Due, and I might reasonably expect that therefore you would willingly 
pay me the same. 

" But, however. Seeing you are pleased to Enquire, On What Terms

peaceable Settlement of y' s* Principal, I consent, for Peace Sake, to 
forcgoe the Interest of s' Sum, w'^'" I compute, after j-our Interest is 
taken out, to be £5300 (Errors Excepted). — If you say, you don't 
look on this as any Favour : In Answer to it, let me Say, I am much 
IMistaken, if, in the Civil Law, Damages will not come into Considera- 
tion, Seeing I have not been Wanting, in years past, to put y" Parish 
in mind of fulfilling their Contract : — But, however, I can't but think 
if you will, as it becomes Christians, Reason calmly upon the matter, 
and without any Byass upon your Minds, you will then judge, that y" 
Interest of y" Deficient parts of my Salary, is, in the Court of Con- 
science, or by the natural Law of Equity, my Due, as well as the 
Deficient Parts themselves, because the Parish in general, tho' often

called upon, yet thro' their Neglect, has, as I conceive, had y' Im- 
provement of so much of my Property. You can't but know, that it 
had been much better for me, to have had my Salary paid me, from 
year to year, according to y^ honest and true Intent of y*' Contract, 
than to take it now w"" Simple Interest, because then I might have Im- 
proved the Interest as well as the Principal. 

" And now. Brethren, as to the Principal : If you will now Vote to 
continue my Salary at Seventy Pounds I^awfull money annually, dur- 
ing my Continuance in the j\Iinistry among you, then I will abate on 
y' Consideration out of said sum (how short soever my Life may be) 
Seven hundred pounds in Oid Tenor. 

" And as to my Fire-wood, altho' I have all along looked upon it as 
properly belonging to the Parish to provide y" Same, because I de- 
clared my Expectation of, and Dependence upon it before my Settle- 
ment ; but was told y' there was no need of having a meeting about it, 
for the People would bring it Gratis ; and I was not so critical in y' 
Pay as to insist on a Vote for it: But if you will now pass a vote to 
provide at the Parsonage House a Sufficiency of Fire-wood annually, 
during my Continuance in the Ministry among you, then, notwith- 
standing the afores'^ encouragement, I will abate, on y' consideration, 
the Sum of Three hundred Pounds, in Old Ten'. 

" So then, there will remain, if you now Comply w*^ s'^ Proposals, 
the Sum of £2054 in O. T. And if you now vote me the s' Snm, 
or in case of my Decease, to be paid to my Heirs, I will oblige my- 
self and them to give you a full Discharge at the Payment of the 
Same : And this will Disable both me and them from Demanding any 
more of s** Arrearages in time to come. 

" I am not ignorant. Brethren, of y" Ability of y" Parish to pay their 
just Debts ; And therefore what I purpose to give as a free Donation 
out of s'' Principal, I think it most proper, and I hope you are of y' 
Same mind, that I give it to the Poorer Sort, i-iz. : to off-set y' whole 
or Some part of their Share In y' s' Arrears : — But as for Such who 
plead y' they are not In Debt on y' vVccount of y' s'' Arrears, if they 
have anything material to offer, I think it proper that they make Ap- 
plication to the Parish, and not to me. 

" And finally, my dear Brethren, If after all y' has been said, you 
do rather incline to Defer y" s' Settlement, and shall choose to go on 
Still In Love, as you have done of late, viz.: to allow me £70 lawfull

" P. Scr. If you have any Proposal to make, consistent with Honour 
and Equity, I am willing to hear and consider it. Idem, S. P." 

The Parish cliose " to go oa still in love" and " to defer the 
said settlement," for, after adjourning their meeting till the next 
spring, they simply chose a committee " to reckon up the over- 
plus that hath been paid to the Rev, Mr. Samuel Phillips 
over and above his stated salary, and to take a receipt of him 
for the same." But justice came at last, though tardily indeed, 
for fifteen days before his death he dictated the following letter. 

" To the South Parish in Andover, convened this 'list day of Mai/, Anno 
Dom. 1771. 

" My Dear Brethren : — I am informed by your Committee that 
you have this day voted to pay me the sum of four hundred and ten 
pounds, seven shillings and ten pence, two farthings, as in full the 
aiTcars of my Salary due to me in the former years of my Ministry 
among you. I thank you for this fresh instance of your regard to me : 
And as a token of my gratitude, I con>'ent that the sum of one hun- 
dred pounds, lawful money, be abated of said sum, to be improved for 
such purposes as the Parish shall please to direct. 

" And now, heartily entreating your prayers for me, 

" I remain, Brethren, your afllicted Friend and Serv', 

"SAMUEL PHILLIPS." 

The salary offered to jNIr. French at his settlement was £80, 
to be paid semi-annually. £100 and half of a year's produce 
from the parsonage farm was paid within four months "as a 
settlement." The Parish were to find him "a constant supply

of firewood, to be delivered at the parsonage house." Mr. 
Quincy tells the follovv'ing anecdote concerning this firewood : 
One v/inter " they had neglected to furnish it. Experience had 
taught Mr. French that a direct complaint of such neglect vras 
not always well received, nor always brought a ready compli- 
ance. He waited, therefore, until the proclamation for Tlianks- 
giving came, and, after reading it to the congregation, he said, 
with great apparent simplicity, ' My brethren, you perceive that 
his Excellency has appointed next Thursday us the day of 
Thanksgiving : and, accoi'ding to custom, it is my purpose to 
pre[)are two discourses for that occasion, provided I can write 
them WITHOUT a fire.' The hint took effect, and before 
twelve o'clock on the succeeding Monday his whole winter's 
vv'ood was in his wood-yard." 

During the years of the War of Independence, as might be 
supposed, the payment of Mr. French's salary became difficult. 
The following letter, though long, has both an historical and a 
biographical value, separate from the matter to which it spe- 
cially refers. 

" To the South Parish in Andover, now ass:eml)led in a Parish Meeting. 

" Gentlkmkn : — As you have now under consideration the matter 
relating to my salar}- for tlie jear past, I beg leave to lay before you 
wliat I have to offer upon this affair in writing, for the following 
reasons : 

" 1. That there may no mistake or dispute arise about what I shall 
say. 

" 2. That I may leave it with you for your perusal in the present 
meeting, if you desire it. 

" 3. That what I shall offer may not be forgotten. 

" In ordiT to express my sentiments clearly and fully upon this 
occasion, I would revert bac-k to the true intent and design of the 
ori;iiual contract between us, so far as it relates to the money part, 
which is all that is to be considered. The other parts remain just as 
they were when the contract was made. When the sum specified in 
the contract was pioposed for my annual support, I took the matter 



SUPPORT OF THE MINISTRY. 47 

under serious consideration, and, comparing it witli tlie then prices of 
the necessaries of life, supposed it would ciffcrd me, with the other 
things specified in the contract, a comfortable and decent support ; 
which was all I wanted. Being confident it was your intention, 
as it was undoubtedly in your power, to make that value good to 
me annually, and I expected this from you, and supposing the 
necessaries of life would continue nearly as they were then, upon 
an average, one year with another, I imagined this would render 
it unnecessary for me to encumber myself with the entanglements 
of the world, and enable me, according to the Apostolic direction, 
to give myself wholly to the work of the ministry, the great object 
in view. On these prospects I formed my future expectations 
for a support among j'ou in this great work. I think I may with 
safety, and in justice to myself, declare, I did not come among you 
with a view to lay up a worldly inheritance. A comfortable, decent 
support for myself and family was all I desired. Experience showed 
me that the j^rovisions you made were adequate to this.purpo?e, and 
yet Avere not too much to enable me to aflbrd that' time and care for 
this flock, which the great duties of my calling required. I was well 
contented, and had things remained in that channel you never 
would have heard any complaints from me. But circumstances are 
greatly altered. In 1775, the first year of the AVar, the articles ncci s- 
sary for clothing were raised in their prices twenty-five per cent., 
which diminished my salary, so far as these articles were necessary, 
one-quarter part. With the decrease of my salary my expenses 
increased. Soldiers almost daily fell in upon us, and such enteriain- 
ment as we could we gave them, and they were welcome. In the next 
year, 1776, not only clothing, but provisions, increased in their prices 
— some things doubled, and some things more. But during these 
years many of the Parish, though not all, with an eye of justice and 
generosity, considered these things. Some let me have the necessaries 
of life at the former prices, others considered me in their private 
kindnesses (of which I kept a true account), so that, on the v»ho!e, I 
was so far I'rom complaining that I gave you a generous and public 
credit for the same, though I then thought, and still do think, that I sus- 
tained my full proportion, or more, of the public burthen, which I was 
willing to do. Soon after this, in the beginning of the year 1777, a 
check was thrown upon the prices of things by a regulating bill. 



48 HISTORICAL SKETCHES. 

Many articles, by that time, particularly clothing, had arisen thribble, 
and some things, even necessaries, five or six fold. But this act was 
never complied with by some, and strongly ojiposcd by many, and in 
a few montlis was wholly set aside. And by a rapid increase of the 
prices of thing?, by lhe;iext spring, 1778, the necessaries of life, u]'on 
an average, upon a moderate computation, had arisen five or six fold in 
their demands. My salary decreased in its value in proportion. I 
found the burden then increasing upon me, and threatening to become 
insupportable ; and with the best oeconomy I could use, my salary fell 
far short of procuring the real necessaries of life for my family. As I 
kept an accurate account of my expenses, I acquainted some of my 
neighbors with the true situation of my affairs, and would as readily 
have mentioned them to others had convenient opportunity offered, 
and I had supposed it necessary. In the fall of the year 1777 the 
people began to talk of making me son.e consideration more than they 
had done. A contribution for that purpose was proposed on the pub- 
lic Thanksgiving, but somehow or other it failed, and was not brought 
forward as was talked of. The matter being delayed, several came in 
private and made me an equitable consideration ; but nothing general 
was done till the public Fast in the following spring, when a collection 
•was made for that purpose, which, with what had been done in a more 
private way, — together with the kind and seasonable assistame of the 
ladies in their generous labors — not passing by the kind help afforded 
me the preceding summer in getting in my hay, and otherwise, in the 
whole raised my salary in its nominal sum, in proportion to about three 
for one, falling a little short ; with which I was fully satisfied, and felt 
grateful to my people for their marks of juslice and generosity toward 
me. And I gave a receipt to the Parish, in full, to the first of April, 
1 778, still supposing that the part I bore in the public burden was very 
large, as the necessaries of life had then arisen at least five double. 

" What now lies before you, gentlemen, is to determine what consid- 
eration to make me in addition to the nominal sum of my galary, from 
that time to the first day of April next ensuing. And I bog leave to 
say what I have to ofl'or upon the matter now under consideration 
with the same freedom and openness of heart as 1 have done respect- 
ing what has past, desiring nothing but what is ju.^t, what is reasona- 
ble, what my circumstances require, and you are able, and, I trust, 
willlns: to do. 



SUPPORT OF THE MINISTRY. 49 

" But I need not say much respecting the prices o£ things at present ; 
you are all sensible that grain of every kind has arisen, considered in 
their lo\yest prices, at least from fifteen to twenty fold higher than 
when my contract was made. Meat perhaps about seven and a half, 
and labor eight or nine — every necessary article full as high, — sugar, 
and every West India article, as much, — every kind of necessary 
drink, simple water excepted, of which, blessed be God, we are not 
deprived, have arisen as high as grain. But suppose we take a few 
articles, and compute the difference, allowing the former prices as 
high as they would bear, and the present as low. Let us, for instance, 
take a bushel of rye, call the former price 4s., a bushel of Indian 
Corn, and call it 3s., 20 w'. of Pork, at 5d. per pound, 20 weight of 
beef, at 3d. per pound, and the whole of these several articles amount 
to £l. Os. 4d. Now take the same articles, and call the bushel of Rye 
$12,00, the Indian Corn $8,00, the Pork 2s. 6d. per pound, and the 
Beef Is. 6d., and they will all amount to exactly£lO. So that, com- 
paring them with the former prices, which I have set very high, and 
the present, which I have set full low, and, indeed, lower than they 
are actually sold by some, and the difference is nearly ten for one. 
And this, any of you, who M'ill give yourselves the trouble to calcu- 
late, you wiU find to be the case, upon a low computation, with all the 
necessaries of life, as they rise one with another. Upon this cal- 
culation, my salary, which is in the contract £80, is in its value to 
me now no more than £S. And I presume no one present would 
engage, for the nominal sum of £80 now, to procure so much by con- 
siderable as £8 would have procured when this contract was-made. 

" Now suppose you make the nominal sum of my salary equal in law- 
ful money to what it was formerly in Old Tenor, — and some Parishes 
have done this, and some more, — and even then I shall sink one quar- 
ter part of niy annual income, so far as that is paid in money, which is 
a greater proportion, I presume, than any farmer pays in his rate, be 
his farm large or small — and much greater than is paid to the sup- 
port of the public by any day labourer whatever. So that, upon this 
valuation, a minister sustains a much greater proportion of the public 
burthen even than if he were rated, and his salary made good. 

" The objection, therefore, against paying to ministci's their equitable 
dues because they are not rated, I hope I shall be excused if I cannot 
consider either as just or reasonable. But suppose a minister's salary 

5 



50 HISTORICAL SKETCHES. 

be made up six for one, ■which is no more than what is done, as I am 
informed, by Government, for the Judges of tlie Court, and what is 
done for the President, Professors, and Tutors of the College, who are 
excused from rates in the same manner that the ministers oC the gos- 
pel are. And then a minister's salaiy, so far as it is paid in n.oney, 
will be sunk in its value more than one-third part. From these things 
you may easily discern what consideration in reason and jubtice ought 
now to be made me. 

" But should it be said the prices have not been so high through the 
year, — I would observe, if you take a mean proportion between the 
prices of things in April last, when my year began, and now, you will 
find they do not fall very much, if anything, short of what I have pro- 
portioned them at. But admit they have not been so high; yet, when- 
ever a consideration- is made me, the money can be no better to me 
than its real value at the time of receiving it, unless the money, before 
I may have occasion to spend it, should grow bettor. And should any 
considerable alteration take place in the money for the better, in the 
ensuing season, I now declare that I am willing to make a proper 
allowance to the Parish therefor. 

" But should any object against making me an equitable considera- 
tion, according to the present prices of things, because you may have 
a large debt to pay hereafter to the public when I may be excused, I 
would answer : As I desire nothing of you but what is perfectly right 
and just, and perfectly reasonable, and should be unworthy the sacred 
character I sustain among you if I were not willing to sympathize with 
you, and participate of all your burthens and afflictions as well as 
rijoice in all your prosperity ; I am willing, in these public calamities 
and burthens, to rise and fall with you ; nor could I be happy to be 
freed from them myself, and see you burthened, and groaning under 
them. I am therefore willing to have this matter duly considered. I 
am willing to have a consideration made me annually or semi-annually, 
according to the then present circumstances. But if an abatement 
ought to be made now on account of what may be made hereafter, 
then justice will require that something be done to secure me from 
bearing more than my proportion liereafter. If you choose to look 
forward with respect to the debt hereafter to be paid, though we none 
of us know who may live to be concerned in that, I say, if you choose 
this, if any equitable plan can be hit upon, I am as willing as you are 



SUPPORT OF THE MINISTRY. 51 

to come into it, and to bind myself to let my salary every year, so long 
as it shall please God to continue me among you, be regulated in 
proportion to the prices of the necessaries of life, and to your rates to 
the public till the debt that has been, or may be, contracted by the 
present War, shall be discharged. But unless something of this nature 
is done, I cannot see but that strict justice will allow me to expect a 
consideration annually, or semi-annually, in some proportion to the 
necessaries of life, making proper and reasonable abatement for my 
proportion of the annual public charge. — And an equitable pro- 
portion, while I live among you (which I hope will be while I live in 
the world), I am freely willing to bear. In proof of this, if you will 
pay me my salary in due proportion, in the necessaries of life, for the 
past year, I will relinquish one third part ;. and instead of £80, for 
£53 6s. 8d. paid in this way, will receipt the Parish in full for the past 
year. I cannot promise to relinquish so much in future years, — 
my circumstances, perhaps, will not admit it, — but for the last year I 
will do it. Can justice to myself and family, can reason, from one 
under my circumstances, to a large and able Parish, oflfer more ? 
When a sum shall be agreed upon, the manner of raising it is entirely 
with you. But in case you conclude to do it by a rate — that the poor 
may not be oppressed by one who is their professed advocate — when 
the rate shall be made, let it be shown me, and I will cross out of the 
rates of those whom the assessors shall think most needy, a sum equal 
to the six lowest rates in the bill ; and if the Parish think this not 
enough, I will do more. 

" Further, where any, from justice or generosity, have made me 
any consideration in a more private way, for the past year. It is my 
desire they would call upon me for that purpose, and I will refund it 
to them again, or give them an order upon the collector therefor; for 
it would be unjust and unreasonable to require any who have done 
anything in this way to pay it again in a rate. And further, as I 
would remove every color of complaint that I can think of, when the 
rate shall be made, if done in that way, whoever will pay their propor- 
tion, of the £80 only, in labour or necessaries of life, as I may stand in 
need of them, estimating them at the farmer prices, for two-thirds tlie 
quantity they must formerly have paid in such proportion, I will cross 
their whole rate, be its nominal sum more or less. 

" Having thus laid before you, in the most honest and open manner, 



•O'l IIJSTORICAL SKETCHES. 

my mind on this affair, if I have offered any one thing unjust or 
unreasonable, or bearing upon the Parish, or any one in it, more than 
upon myself, I hope you will show it to nie, and I will immediately 
retract. I hope you will give everything its due weight, and act upon 
it agreeably to reason and equity, and in so doing you will not only 
discover an act of justice and generosity toward me, but a regard 
to the gospel, in affording it a ready and cheerful support among you, 
and relieve me from many cares and'perplexities, and give me abund- 
antly the better opportunity to discharge the great duties of my office 
among you, in endeavouring to promote the honor of Christ's kingdom 
and the spiritual welfare of you, your children, and this whole flock. 

" That we may always be enabled and disposed to discharge our 
respective duties .to God and each other, live in mutual peace and 
love here, and finally be admitted together into a better country, 
to the enjoyment, not of a worldly, but heavenly, incorruptible inheri 
tance, is the hearty desire of your, 

" Though unworthy, 

" Yet very affectionate Pastor, 

"JONA. FRENCH. 

" Andover, February 19, 1779." 

The Parish responded substantially to the proposals of this 
letter. During the year 1770-80 two corn-rates were assessed, 
amounting to 346 bushels. Quite a number also paid their 
money-rates in corn. These money rates were, in the depre- 
ciated currency, largely increased. 

'My. Quincy, who boarded in Mr. French's family during this 
time, says, in a letter to Rev. Dr. Sprague, published in the 
Annals of the American Pul])it : 

" Frugality was the necessity of the time and the law of his 
household. The only bread we tasted was Indian or Rye, or a 
mixture of both. Mr. French, on the Sabbath, had the special 
piivilt'ge of ivJtite or Hour bread, because, as he said, the Rye or 
Indian gave him the heart-burn. As he took, on that day, no 
other dinner, he justified himself in indulging in that enviable 
luxury. Chocolate was the breakfast — our dinners pork and

beef, with a plentiful allowance of cabbage and all the usual 
vegetables farmers cultivate. In the winter frozen cod came 
along from the sea-coast. Bohea, a tea to modern luxury almost 
unknown, was our table resort, with a qualification of milk at 
supper time." The people did not confine their support to the 
payment of rates. " "When winter approached and farmers 

began to collect the produce of their farms* he had often 

to suspend as many spare-ribs in his cellar as it had nails to 
hang them on, besides chickens, now and then a turkey, and 
wild pigeons without number." From 1796 till his death, the 
sum voted yearly for his support was $266.67. The Parish 
bore the expense of his funeral, continued the salary and fire- 
wood to Mrs. French, and allowed her the use of the parsonage 
buildings from August to the April following, and the crops of 
that year ; and, while requesting her to entertain preachers, 
requested her also " to exhibit her bill to the Parish for pay- 
ment." It should be added, that, previous to his decease, March 
1806, the Deacons were authorized to draw from the Treasury 
the money necessary " to procure preachers at such times when 
the Rev. Jona. French is unable to perform himself." 

The salary of Mr. Edwards was $900, with the use of the 
Parish Pew. Mr. Badger was settled on a salary of $730. 
March 8, 1832, voted to add $170, for the term of five years. 
The Parish voted to Mr. Langstroth $900. Mr. Taylor was 
settled on the same terms. Mr. Smith's salary was SI 000, with 
the privilege of four weeks' vacation. This was raised, in Octo- 
ber, 1853, to 11200, from the date of his settlement, as an induce- 
ment for him to remain. But the inducement did not avail. 
The salary of the present minister is $1200. An annual vaca- 
tion of four weeks is given. All the ministers, since the build- 
ing of the present meeting-house, have had the use of a Parish 
pew. The following letter, with reference to this part of minis- 
terial support, is a pleasant memento of the past.

" Andover, December 8, 1788." 

The money for the expenses of the Parish has been raised, 
from the first unto the present time, by taxation. The expenses, 
except for occasional repair or erection of buildings, were, in the 
early years, only a few pounds more than the pastor's salary. 
Even as late as 1770, but £72 and a few shillings covered the 
yearly expenditure. The rate made for the year 1785, which 
included the amount needed for providing materials for the 
present meeting-house, was £224 3s. Id. 3^qr. The additional 
cost of the house was £100, levied in 1788. The tax of the 
year 1795, the last made in the Royal currency, Avas £121 Gs. 
lOd. 3qr. The average rate till 1810, the year when the sale 
of the parsonage lands commenced, was $482. From 1810 
till 182G, the year of the formation of the West Parish, it was 
$540. The table which follows will show, errors excepted, the 
number of polls, the amount paid by each poll, the valuation 
of real and personal estate, the yearly assessment, and the per- 
centage on each hundred dollars, from 1830 to 1859 inclusive.

By the above Table it will be seen that there has, within the 
la>t twenty-nine years, been considerable fluctuation in the num- 
ber of tax-payers. It appears that in 1831, the year containing 
the largest number of polls, the valuation was less by more than 
$14G,000 than in 1859, with the number of polh less by 268 ; 
and that the assessment on the hundred dollars, in 1859, with 
eighty polls, only exceeds, by less than two cents, that of 1831, 
with 348 polls. In later years, too, quite a large number of 
men, though connected with the congregation, either worship- 
ping with it or whose families worship with it, have neglected 
to join the Pari.sh. Some of these have been accustomed to 
pay what has been named a " voluntary tax." 



56 HISTORICAL SKETCHES. 



MUSIC IN PUBLIC WORSHIP. 

The first notice in regard to singing, which we have found in 
the Parish records, dates as lately as 1769. At the Annual 
Meeting of that year it was " put to vote to see if the Parish 
will sing Tate & Brady or Dr. "Watts's Psalms, and it passed on 
the negative." The Psalm-book used at this time was probably 
the New England version. In a church-meeting three years 
afterwards it was voted to sing Dr. AVatts's Psalms and Hymns, 
three months. For eighty-seven years, then, the people have 
sung, for the most part, these songs of Zion, the only changes 
since being the gradual introduction, in addition, of the Select 
Hymns of Dr. Worcester. 

" The common method of reading the Psalm line by line " at 
the communion, was " dropped " April 21, 1794. It went out 
of use in the congregation a short time before this. 

In 1779 it was voted by the Parish to consent to the building 
of a seat in the meeting-house to accommodate singing. This 
seat was to be " before the seat the Deacons sit in." It is 
uncertain whether the seat was built. For we find a petition 
for a Parish Meeting, 1780, to see if the Parish would allow 
seats for the singing school. No action seems to have been 
taken on this petition. Another petition of the same kind was 
presented in 1782, for the use of the three hindmost seats. 
This petition was refused. At about this time, it is said, a part 
of the singers sat in the gallery and a part below. When the 
new house was building, the same question came up again. At 
one meeting the privilege of sitting together was denied: at a 
sub.>^equcnt meeting it was granted. The seats allowed wei-e in 
the front gallery. 

A Society called the South Parish Musical Society, was in 
existence in 1809. A committee of this society petitioned the 



MUSIC IN PUBLIC AVORSHIP. 57 

Parish for aid. Aid was promised, but, after adjourning five 
time?, the Parish left the subject to a committee to make a 
rei^ort. What that report was, perhaps was never known. An- 
other request was made for assistance in 1811 : the Parish 
" regret their inability at the present time to assist." 

A Bass- Viol was in use as early as 1800 ; since that year 
the Parish appointed "Hermon Abbot to use" it. We find 
notices of a small viol in 1828, of a flute in 1829, and of two 
flutes, bass and small viol, in 1830. The organ, purchased by 
subscription in 1835, for $800, was the following year bought 
by the Parish. This caused a good deal of unpleasant feeling 
for several years, and some persons declined being taxed for any 
share in its cost. 

The first appropriation of money by the Parish for music was 
in 1805. A small sum was then given for the expenses of the 
bass-viol. In 1818 the assessors were atithorized to draw for 
the singers, not to exceed thirty dollars. The next year, fifteen 
dollars was voted. Difficulty arising about this time, the sum 
of five dollars, the next year, was scarcely voted, to save the 
danger that the singers would leave their seats. In 1826 the 
money drawn for them was not to exceed twenty dollars. In 
1829 fifty dollars was appropriated. Since 1837, $100 has been 
annually voted. 

In regard to the leaders of the singing the account is imperfect. 
We read concerning Dea. Joseph Abbot, who removed to Wil- 
ton in 1776, at that time in his seventy-second year, that "he 
for many years tuned the Psalm, and Dea. Isaac Abbot, his 
cousin, read it line by line." This would carry us back quite 
early. At the time of Mi*. Quincy's residence, 1778-86, the 
leader's name was Ames. Somewhat later, Mr. Ballard was the 
leader. In 1800 the Parish 'dismissed the persons who led the 
singing, and chose Henry Dane, with Benjamin Abbot as his 
assistant.' Between this date and 1820 the following persons 
are remembered as leaders of the singing : Asa Abbot, Ezra 
Ingalls(?), Enoch Frye and Ralph H. Chandler.

The singers' seats were at this time filled with many persons 
who were not considered suitable members of a choir. As a 
remedy of this evil, the Andover South Parish Union Singing 
Society was formed, Oct. IG, 1820. This society, receiving its 
members by vote, soon became the only occupants of the seats, 
and has continued to be the choir to tlie present time. Its 
President for the time is the cliox'ister. Tlie following persons 
have been Presidents, from 1820 to 1859.

BURIAL-GROUNDS AND BURIALS. 

The first person buried in the burial-ground of this Parish 
was Robert Russell. He died in December, 1710. The oldest 
inscription there is, is on the grave-stone of Mrs. Ann Blanchard, 
wife of Mr. Jonathan Blanchard, who died Feb. 29, 1723. A 
second burial-place was laid out in the West part of the Parish 
in 1791. The first one was enlarged in 1792, the Parish 
then accepting a gift of land for this purpose from Samuel 
Abbot, Esq., and Mrs. Sarah Barker. In 1820 tlie Parish 
authorized the purchase of land to enlarge it, for the sum of 
$140. It was a third time enlarged, in 1847, by purchase from 
Dea. Newman. In this last year, happy changes were com- 
menced in the location of the front wall, of the hearse-house imd 
of the horse-sheds. New lots were laid out in the yard, and a 
very decided improvement has since gone forward in the whole

appearance of tlie burial-ground. The nakedness of the hill- 
side began to be covered by trees and slirubs, and utter irregu- 
larity gave place to some, even though a defective, order. 

A hearse was procured first in 1798, and a hearse-house was 
built the next year. A new hearse was obtained in 1833. 

The small cemetery connected with the Theological Seminary 
received its first dead in 1810. The burial-yard of the Parish 
of Chi-ist Church was consecrated in 1840. A few persons 
have, since 1855, been interred in the Catholic cemetery. But 
the larger portion of those who die here are buried still in the 
old ground, where their fathers sleep. 

During the successive Pastorates of this Parish, the number 
of burials or deaths registered is given below. This register 
includes, of course, merely those who were considered, at the 
time of their death, to belong to the congregation worshipping 
at the old church, and whose funerals were attended by its min- 
ister. The whole number is 2454.

Funeral sermons have not usually been preached in this 
Parish. In early times the body was carried, often several 
mUes, by the bearers, to the grave. The friends returned to the 
house of the deceased for supper. Ardent spirits were drunk on 
such occasions. Mr. Phillips, as early as 1720, testified against 
it as an unfit practice. It was customary to give gloves and 
rings at funerals. The bearers received white gloves. The 
gloves were laid upon the cofhn, and taken by the bearers before 
proceeding to the grave. Purple gloves were presented at a

later time. The Parij-li voted, on the death of Mr. Phillip?, 
1771, that the bearers should have rings, and that all the or- 
dained ministers attending the funeral, and the ministers that 
preached gratis in the time of Mr. P.'s sickness, should have 
gloves. This practice was discontinued during the Revolution- 
ary War. For the funeral of Mi\ French, the Parish procured 
the mourning of the family, and draped the pulpit with black. 
On the death of Madam French, the Parish appointed a com- 
mittee to solicit subscriptions for the payment of the expenses of 
her funeral. Two plain slate tablets were erected in their mem- 
ory, and still stand, quite undistinguished and neglected, among 
the other grave-stones. 



VII. 

ORGANIZATION OF THE CHURCH. 

" October 17, 1711, a church was gathered in the South Pre- 
cinct of Andover." Thirty-five persons, thirty-two of whom 
were from the church in the North Precinct, entered into cove- 
nant with each other and " were thereupon declared to be a 
church." The "messengers" of the churches are not mentioned 
in the records, but the " ciders " who recognized this new church 
were Mr. Thomas Barnard, of Andover, Mr. Edward Payson, 
of Rowley, Mr. Joseph Green, of Salem Village, and Mr. Tlios. 
Symraes, of Bradford. The nearest churches, at that time or- 
ganized, were the North Churcli, Andover, now Unitarian, the 
churches in North Danvers, South Reading and Woburn, the 
present Unitarian Church in Billerica, the First Church of 
Clielmsford, and the church in Londonderry, N. II. At least 
twenty-five Congregational churches arc now planted within 
these limits. 



COVENANTS AND ARTICLES OF FAITH. 61 

VIII. 

COVENANTS x\ND ARTICLES OF FxVITH. 

The Covenant, which formed the basis of organization, was in 
the following words. 

" We, whose Names are hereunto subscribed, apprehending our- 
selves called of God to join together in chh. communion : (acknowledg- 
ing our un worthiness of Such a Privilege, and our inability to keep 
Covenant with God unless Christ shall enable us thereunto :) In 
humble dependence on free grace for divine assistance and acceptance ; 
We do, in the name of Christ Jesus our Lord, freely Covenant and 
bind ourselves, solemnly, in the presence of God himself, his holy 
angels, and all his Servants here present, to Serve the only living and 
true God — Father, Son and Holy Ghost, whose name alone is Jeho- 
vah, cleaving to him as our chief good, and unto our Lord Jesus Christ 
as our only Saviour, y" Prophet, Priest and King of our Souls, in a 
way of gospel obedience : Avouching the Lord to be our God and the 
God of our children, whom we give unto him ; and resolve that we and 
our houses Avill serve the Lord, counting it as an high favor, that the 
Lord wiU accept of us, and our children with us, to be his people. 
We do also give ourselves one to another in the Lord, covenanting 
to walk together as a Church of Christ, in all the ways of his worship, 
according to the holy Rules of his Word : promising in brotherly love 
faithfully to watch over one another's Souls, and to submit ourselves 
to the discipline and power of Christ in his Church : and duly to at- 
tend the Seals and Censures, or whatever ordinances Christ has com- 
manded to be observed by his people, so far as the Lord by his AVord 
and Spirit has [revealed] or shall reveal unto us to be our duty, 
adorning the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things, avoiding the 
very appearance of evU. And that we may keep our covenants with 
God we desire to deny ourselves and to depend wholly on the free 
mercy of God, and upon the merits of Jesus Christ : and wherein we 
shall fail, to wait on him for pardon thro' his name : Beseeching the 
Lord to own us as a Church of Christ, and to delight to dwell in the 
midst of us."

62 HISTORICAL SKETCHES. 

The church records do not mention any other creed or cove- 
nant, for sixty-two years. But it is probable that another was 
soon brought into use, for in a little volume, published by Mr. 
Phillips in 1728, which contains three discourses preached by 
himself near the time of the great earthquake, an account is alFO 
given of the solemn renewal of Covenant made by the church. 
The Covenant, which was taken by the communicants, is as 
follows : 

" We, the Pastor and all other the communicants of this Parish, noW 
assembled, apprehending ourselves called of God to Renew our Cove- 
nant — : do each one of us for ourselves respectively profess a Serious 
BeUef of the Chrittian Religion, as expressed in the Assembly's Cate- 
chism : and do now, in an Everlasting Covenant, give up ourselves to 
God in Jesus Christ: Humbly asking of God forgiveness thro' the 
Blood of Christ for our Original Sin, as also for all our Actual Trans- 
gressions: And solemnly Promising before God Himself and the Holy 
Angels, and in the Presence of this Assembly, that by the Assistance 
of the Divine Spirit, we will forsake the Vanities of this Evil AA'orld 
and approve ourselves the true Disciples of Jesus Christ, in all good 
carriage towards God and man : and that both we and our Houses will 
Serve the Lor.D. 

" And particularly we promise to walk in Communion together, as 
becomes a Church of the Lord Jesus Christ : that is to say ; we will, as 
we have opportunity, watch over one another and all such as may 
hereafter Join with us in Love : And will submit our selves to the 
Discipline and Power of Christ in His Church : and duly attend the 
Seals and Censures, or whatever Ordinances Christ has commanded to 
be observed by his People, so far as the Lord by his Word and Spirit 
has revealed or shall reveal unto us to be our Duty : adorning the 
Doctrine of God our Sarinw in all Things, and avoiding the very 
Appearance of Evil : Earnestly praying that the Lokd would take 
Delight to dwell among us, that His Blessing may be upon us and His 
Glorious Kingdom advanced among us." 

The church adopted from its organization the then prevalent 
practice of allowing persons who had been bai)tized, and who 



COVENANTS AND ARTICLES OF FAITH. 63 

were not of scandalous life, the privilege of taking what was 
called the Baptismal Covenant. Tliis entitled them to the watch 
of the church, and, if parents, to the baptism of their children. 
The Covenant in use for this purpose is likewise not mentioned 
in the records, but on the same occasion it was renewed in the 
following form, as given in the above-mentioned volume. 

" We, who have publicly recognized our Baptismal Covenant, 
apprehending ourselves called of God to renew the same : do now 
each of ns for ourselves respectively, Acknowledge the One True 
and Living God to be our God. And, Professing a serious Belief of 
the Cbrlstian Religion, as it is expressed in the Assembly's Catechism, 
do give up ourselves and ours : Avhat we are and what we have and 
what we shall have unto God in the Lord Jesus Christ: heartily resolv- 
ing, by the Help of his Grace, to Conform our Lives to the Rule of 
that Holy Religion, so long as we live : repenting of all our Sins 
against those Rules of HoUness. We give ourselves to the Lord 
Jehovah, who is Father, Son and Holy Ghost, as unto our Best 
Good and our Last End : And unto our Lord Jesus Chnst, who is the 
Lord Jehovah, as to our Prophet, Priest and King for Ever. We 
Submit unto the Laws of His Kingdom, and as they are Administered 
among this His people : And will diligently labour for those clearer 
Evidences of our good Estates, which may encourage our approaches 
to the table of the Lord. And, finally, we will give a Christian 
Education to all such as are, or may be, providentially committed to 
our Care and Charge." 

The first pastor earnestly urged this practice. In a foot-note 
to one of his discourses, 1727, he says, " Neither do I remember 
one Native of the Parish that is Uiibaptized." The last instance 
of " owning the Covenant " is recorded Dec. 30, 1770. After 
the accession of Mr. French, those persons who wished to enter 
into Covenant with the church and enjoy its privileges, were 
allowed to do so on their assenting to a common declaration 
of faith. Those who were admitted to full communion had been 
accustomed to give " a relation " of their experience and of their 



64 HISTORICAL SKETCHES. 

belief. This relation was often a written one. It was voted, 
March 25, 1773, unanimously, " That, instead of the usual prac- 
tice of exhibiting relations previous to the admission into the 
church, the following form of a Confession of Faith be pro- 
pounded in public to each candidate, viz. : 

" You, A. B., do professedly believe there is one God, Father, Son 
and Holy Ghost — that the Bible is the Word of God, which was 
written by the Prophets and Apostles, under the Inspiration of the 
Holy Spirit : you also believe the fall of man, the depravity of human 
nature, and the Redemption, through the Mediation, Intercession and 
Atonement of Christ : that Christ has appointed two special ordinan- 
ces under the Gospel Dispensation, to be observed by every true 
believer in his name, viz. : Baptism and the Lord's Supper : that the 
quaUfications for these ordinances are true repentance toward God 
and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ : you believe, also, that the soul 
wiU exist after the dissolution of the body, and that there will be a day 
of final judgment, in which everj- one shall receive a reward according 
to his works." 

The covenant at this time was nearly the same as was taken 
in the time of Mr. Phillips, by those who were admitted to full 
communion. It significantly omitted, however, the declaration 
of belief in " the Christian Religion as expressed in the Assem- 
bly's Catechism," and the asking of forgiveness for sin was not 
accompanied with the ancient si^ecification, " for our Original 
Sin, as also for all our actual transgressions." Excepting these 
two omissions, and a few verbal differences, the covenant was 
the old one already given. 

In 1783, a person in covenant with the church proposed the 
following question : " "Whether the church would admit him to 
full communion, provided there should be no objection against 
his moral cluiracter, without requiring him to take the Covenant 
again." This person had simply '' owned the Baptismal Cove- 
nant." Tlic church replied to his question in the negative. 
Tliis person then offered to refer the matter to the Association 



COVENANTS AND ARTICLES OF FAITH. 65 

of Ministers, oi* to a mutual council. This oiFer was declined. 
He was asked if the present form of Covenant could be altered 
so that he would be willing to take it. He answered " that he 
did not doubt but that it might." A committee was accordingly- 
chosen " to revise the Covenant and see if they could so alter it, 
at the same time retaining the essentials, as might be agreeable 
to Bro. A. and the church." Such alterations were proposed 
as were acceptable to the committee and Mr. A., and Sept. 4, 
1786, the alterations were adopted by the church. These changes 
were only vei'bal, and brought the Covenant to the form in 
which it now stands. 

But, for some reason, Mr. A. did not take the Covenant, even 
as amended : for his claim was that he had a right to the privi- 
lege of the Lord's Supper, on the ground that he had " owned 
the Covenant" already. He sent in a paper, in 1788, " request- 
ing that the church would declare whether he is a member of 
the church or not." The brethren refused to take up the matter 
again. In 1791, the matter would come up, for this persistent 
man now kept his wife from coming to the Supper, alleging that 
he treated her as the church treated him. The church debarred 
him, on this account, from all special privileges, and placed him 
under censure. The difficulty was brought before the church 
repeatedly till 1795, when the church declined to entertain it 
any longer. We hear nothing more of it till 1811, when, at the 
request of Mr. A., the church appointed a committee to devise 
some method of removing the censure. They reported, that, in 
consideration of the fact that Mr. A. had offered to leave the 
matter to a council, which the church had refused to do, and that 
he was now willing to acknowledge that he was wrong in detain- 
ing his wife from the Communion, tlie censure should be re- 
moved. The church accordingly removed its censure. 

The narrative of this case is important, as it occupied more 
attention than any other case of Discipline. It shows that per- 
sons under the half-way Covenant were under the disci[)line of 
the church, and were actually disciplined ; and it throws light 
G* 



6(j HISTORICAL SKETCHES. 

upon the character of the Covenant itself. It is worthy of re- 
mark that this is the only instance in the history of this church 
ia wliich there appears to have been even the suggestion of call- 
ing in a council to settle difficulties. This church has given one 
proof, at least, of the power of a church to govern itself. 

The Confession of Faith and Covenant, in their present form, 
were formally adopted April 2, 1813. The following words, 
however, then included in the fifth article, were by vote, Sept. 
17, 1830, omitted : " Baptism is to be administered to unbaptized 
adults, who profess their faith in Christ, and to the infant chil- 
dren of members of the church." The short address, which, in 
the present form of admission, precedes the confession, and the 
words of fellowship, which the church use after the reading of 
the Covenant, were accepted in 1834. 

The Cambridge Platform, though never explicitly accepted by 
the church, has often been recognized as of standard value. 
References to it ai"e made several times in the records. It 1776 
it was voted " that the platform of our churches should be read 
in public, a part at a time, at the discretion of the pastor." 

But while, for the most part, in sympathy with the Puritan 
Theology and Polity, this church did doubtless feel, to some 
extent, the Ai'minianizing influence, which infected the churches 
of this region during the latter half of the last century. This 
influence is easily discernible in the articles of faith. The Con- 
fession, adopted in the time of Mr. French, is especially defec- 
tive in thorough statement of doctrine. The changes made in 
1813 wei'C in the right direction. But a creed, which should 
express in natural connection and sequence of thought all tlie fun- 
damental facts of Christian doctrhie, is still greatly to be desired. 



BAPTISMS. 67 

IX. 

BAPTISMS. 

The eai-ly Baptisms were almost all of infants. The adults 
baptized were not usually natives. The whole population were 
in covenant with the church during the first half-century. 
Seven hundred persons " recognized their covenant " in this 
time. Probably half of them were afterwai-ds " admitted to 
fuU communion." A frequent time of assuming these vows was 
just before or after man-iage. Some of the more serious young 
people assumed them at an earlier age. But to the close of 
Mr. French's ministry, a public pi'ofession, it is to be feared, had 
its chief importance, in the view of many, as entitlmg their chil- 
dren to baptism. In later years, the number of adult baptisms 
has greatly increased. The baptisms under each pastor have 
been as follows : 

Mr. Phillips baptized 2143, adults 30. 

10. 
58. 
70. 
4. 
37. 

27. 

The whole number of baptisms is 4G73, of which number 236 
were adult baptisms. It will be seen that about uineteen-twen- 
tieths have been infant baptisms. During the first two pastor- 
ates, eighty-nine-ninetieths were infant baptisms. During the 
last six pastorates, four children have been baptized for one 
adult.

DISCIPLINE. 

The chief causes of Discipline for 125 years were fornication 
and drunkenness. He who investigates the records of this or 
any other church for the same period will be astonished at the 
comparative prevalence of these vices as compared with the 
present time. Numerous confessions of these sins are pre- 
served. Many of them, especially of the former class, are from 
those who belonged at least to the middle class of the commu- 
nity. During the ministry of the first two pastors, persons who 
had owned the covenant were disciplined. Mr. Phillips was 
strenuous, also, ujion the point that the baptized children should 
receive, not only the watch and care, but the discipUne of the 
church. In case of any scandalous conduct they were expected 
to make confession before they were allowed to own their cove- 
nant. For many years after the organization of the church, a 
case of final exclusion seldom occurred. The chief censures 
were the requirement of confession and the suspension from 
church privileges. Final excommunication was resorted to 
frequently after Mr. Edwards was settled, and has been fre- 
quent since. The term employed in Mr. Taylor's ministry was 
withdrawal of fellowship. The term seems to have been em- 
ployed to convey a distinction between the cases tried at that 
time and those grosser ones of former days. Several members 
at that time absented themselves from worship and comnuuiion 
because of the wi-ong position taken, as they thought, by the 
church, upon the subject of slavery. Persisting in walking out 
of communion with the church, they were at length declared to 
be no longer members of it. More recently the same kind of 
action has been taken concerning a large number of persons who 
had been long absent. Some of these were known, and efforts 
have been made to restore them. Others, unknown for many 



PRAYER-MEETINGS. 69 

yeai's, were excluded by summary vote, all efforts to discover 
them having proved unavailing. The number of excommunica- 
tions has, within these four years, been greater than ever before 
for the same length of time. It is doubtful whether any thor- 
ough attempt had been made to restore the ancient Puritan con- 
ception of the church, — a local church, — and to enforce the 
covenant obligation assumed by each member, " to walk in com- 
munion with this church." 

A noticeable change has taken place, apparently, in the pro- 
cesses of discipline. These are far more summary than once. 
In early days there were formal trials. The church sat as a 
court, heard witnesses and took affidavits. The documents were 
preserved, and are of the true legal minuteness. The witnesses 
were of the world, as well as of the church. The persons tried, 
as has been seen before, were also of the world, or, at least, only 
held in the church by the tenure of baptism and the baptismal 
covenant. Thus we have the detailed trial, before the church, of 
an Inn-keeper, who was not a communicant, for allowing men to 
play cards in his house, and for furnishing them liquor. The 
result was an humble confession of his fault, and his consequent 
restoration to the charity of the Brethren. This took place after 
the discontinuance of the half-way covenant. In many ways is 
disclosed the wider and in some respects closer watch which the 
church once exercised over the piety and morals of the people. 



XI. 
PRAYER-MEETINGS. 



The first notice of any other than the stated services of public 
worship on the forenoon and afternoon of Sunday, is a notice of 
a meeting held by young men on Sabbath evenings. They were 



70 HISTORICAL SKETCnES. 

accustomed, as early as 1729, to "meet in several societies for 
religious exercises." At this time the people did not " look upon 
Sunday evening as a part of the Sabbath." But Mr. Phillips 
exhorts the young men " to shew Respects to the day, and in 
point of Prudence to spend it in reading good books, in holy 
meditation. Prayer and Religious Conference." This meeting is 
mentioned ten yeai's after in a way which makes probable its, at 
least, recent suspension, perhaps its continued existence. 

At this latter date, 1739, a Wednesday lecture was preached. 
A funeral sermon, preached for Mr. Phillips, at suoJi a lecture, 
by Mr. Barnard, the younger, of the North Parish, in memory 
of Abiel Abbot, B. A., was printed. The author of the History 
of Andover says a monthly lecture in the town, preached alter- 
nately in each Parish, was commenced in this ministry, which 
was continued more than sixty years. It appears, however, 
from one of the memorials of Mr. Phillips to the Parish, on 
the subject of his salary, 1 742, that for a few yeai's, certainly, 
this lecture was held only in the North Parish. He avows his 
own willingness to have the lecture continued alternately, as had 
been the custom. 

No devotional meetings, save those of the Lord's day, are 
known to have existed in the Parish during the ministry of Mr. 
French. lie was accustomed, sometimes, to lecture in the west 
part of the town. Baptisms are twice recoi-ded as solemnized 
" at a lecture at Widow Furbush's," and once each " at John 
Malcoys," and " at the house of Widow Lucy Bailey." These 
families were beyond Ilaggit's Pond. It is stated, also, that " on 
the evening before Mr. French's death, he agreed with Pro- 
fessor Woods that the conference meetings of the young gen- 
tlemen of the Theological Seminary and those among his parish- 
ioners should be united." " Those among his Parishioners " had 
doubtless but recently been called into existence, as, at this 
time, the preaching of Dr. Griirin had begun to excite a quite 
unwonted interest in many hearts. Several persons in the 
church, at that time, were greatly revived. Some, it is said, 



PRAYER-MEETINGS. 71 

gave up their religious hopes. On the part of others, these 
devotional meetings were viewed with suspicion, if not with 
positive displeasure. They thought them innovations full of 
danger. They considered Sunday services sufficient. Night 
meetings, especially, wei'e regarded as evil omens. • 

On the settlement of Mr. Edwards, in 1812, family and neigh- 
borhood prayer meetings became frequent in all parts of the Pax-- 
ish. His own participation in a conference meeting, held at the 
Centre School House, previous to his settlement, had recom- 
mended him to the people. His interest in these meetings led him 
to start them in the farthest portions of his Parish. We hear 
of them especially in the Bailey and Scotland Districts. The 
one held in the former disti'ict was on the first Tuesday of every 
month. In the latter district, meetings, in his ministry, were 
held sometimes on Thursday and sometimes on Saturday even- 
ings. In accounts preserved of some of these meetings, those 
who took charge of them, and who took part in them, are spoken 
of as " scholars " or " students." Members of the Academy, and 
especially of the Seminary, have ever since participated largely 
in the conduct of meetings for conference and prayer. Of late 
years, the stated church meetings in the vestry have not been so 
dependent upon them, and now are not at aU dependent. But 
for several years the young men of the Seminary have sustained 
a meeting in the Scotland and Holt Districts, on Sabbath eve- 
nings. A meeting of the same character and conduct was held, 
for a long time, with occasional interruptions, in the families of 
the Phillips District, on Saturday evenings. On the same eve- 
ning another meeting has been held, statedly, by members of the 
Academy and Seminary, in connection with the Abbot Village 
Mission School. 

At seasons of especial interest, all these meetings have been 
revived and special ones commenced. At the time of the sei'ies 
of meetings, called protracted and four days' meetings, in the 
years 1831 and 1833, morning gatherings for prayer were main- 
tained. At about sunrise the people assembled in large num-

bers. During the recent religious revival of 1858, a Union 
Daily meeting was held, at eight o'clock in the morning, from 
March to August. At some of the first meetings as many as 
two hundred and fifty were present. The average attendance 
for the last month was about forty. 

Of the origin of the stated prayer meetings, in the vestry or 
church, it is difficult to speak with certainty. The monthly 
concert was commenced, without doubt, as early as 1815. Mr. 
Edwards wrote his circular, that year, in behalf of its general 
observance throughout the United States. It was held at first 
on Monday afternoon, afterwards on Monday evening ; but for 
a number of years it has been held on Sabbath evening. At 
one time during Mr. Taylor's pastorate, committees on various 
missionary fields were appointed, to report at the concert, but 
this method did not long succeed. It has been always under the 
care of the pastor. 

The Sunday evening meeting was not held statedly at the 
vestry during Mr. Edwards's pastorate. The date of its com- 
mencement is not known. Preaching, on this evening, was fre- 
quent after 1828. Since 1840 this meeting has been conducted 
by the Deacons of the church. 

AVhether a church prayer meeting was held regularly, on a 
week-day, in the vestry, before 1828, is in some doubt. It does 
not seem likely that, if it existed, it had acquired the fixed char- 
acter which now belongs to the meeting of Wednesday evening. 
It is known that, in 1823, Mr. Edwards had a female IJihle 
class, numbering, at one time, IGO members. This was on a 
week-day afternoon. He also had, in 1824, a Bible class of 
males. This numbered 150. These classes awakened a very 
deep interest; even the students in Theology were eager to 
attend them. Mr. Badger, at the opening of his ministry, con- 
tinued this Bible class, with less of questioning and answering, 
and more in the manner of an expository lecture. It was called, 
indeed, the Biblical lecture. This class was held in the eve- 
ning. A weekly prayer meeting was held at this time, but not 



PRAYER-MEETINGS. 73 

on Wednesday. As nearly as can be learned, tlie AYednesday 
evening meeting became fixed in the ministry of Mr. Langs- 
troth. It has since gained the character of an institution, blessed 
in its memories and its influence. It has been almost always 
conducted by the Pastor. At one time, Mr. Taylor left it, 
except once a month, in charge of the brethren of the church, 
while he held a meeting in some distant portion of the Parish. 
But its interest did not increase by this course. Mr. Smith held it 
once a month, in the afternoon, for the benefit of those who could 
not enjoy its privileges in the evening. The average attend- 
ance, for the past three years, has been from sixty to eighty. 

A young people's meeting was commenced in 1840, by the 
suggestion of Mr. Taylor, for the benefit of those young men of 
the church who felt reluctant to pai-ticipate in the more public 
meeting on Wednesday evening. This was continued the larger 
part of two seasons. In 1856 a few young men met four eve- 
nings for prayer, but their number was so small that the meet- 
ing was not continued. March 5, 1858, the present young 
men's prayer meeting was commenced in the vestry. Sixteen 
young men attended it. On several subsequent evenings the 
number varied from twenty-five to fifty. It has been uniformly 
continued since, generally on Monday evening, with an average 
attendance of twelve. 

A Maternal Association was formed early in Mr. Edwards's 
ministry. It held monthly meetings. Once in three months the 
Pastor was accustomed to meet the mothers and children. At 
such a meeting, in 1821, a collection is reported in the Mis- 
sionary Herald to have been taken. This association seems to 
have lost interest after a few years. Its meetings were sus- 
pended, probably, for a season, previous to the ordination of Mr 
Langstroth. In May, 1838, it was revived. A constitution 
was adopted, and signed by thirty-two mothers. Its meetings 
were again suspended, Fonie time previously to the ordination ol 
the present pa-tor. In Marcli, 185G, a now constitution Avas 
adopted. Since that time the meetings have been attended on

Thursday afternoons, at first usually with Wid. Rhoda Gleason; 
since her death, with Mrs. II. B. Taylor. 

A female prayer meeting was in existence in 1817. It was 
held at the house of Wid. Heniy AhLot, and was conducted by 
her. Only a few ladies met there. One of them, Mrs. Caleb 
Abbot, used to walk three miles. A female prayer meeting was 
commenced, a little later, on Sabbath evenings, by ]\Irs. Edwards. 
There was, at this time, no other stated Sabbath evening ser- 
vice. Mrs. E.'s room was crowded. Subsequently a prayer 
meeting was held, for many years, with Mrs. Zeruiah Giiflin, in 
Abbot village. Through the efforts of Mrs. A. D. Newman a 
meeting was established, in the early part of Mr. Taylor's min- 
istry, at Dea. Blanchard's. One was held, just before his dis- 
mission, at his house. Mrs. Newman invited one at her house, 
during the vacancy of the ministerial office. This soon was 
omitted for various causes. In 1854, Mrs. H. B. Taylor 
established a meeting, which has been sustained on Thursday 
of each week, to the present time. Circles of prayer have 
been formed, also, in other }>arts of the Parish, at different times, 
but have not become institutions. In the spring of 1858 a young 
ladies' meeting was commenced at the Pastor's house, and is still 
attended by ten or twelve persons. This is held on Monday 



XII. 
SABBATH SCHOOLS. 



During the interval of jniblic worship on Sundays, it was cus- 
tomary for the people who remained at noon to come together to 
hear the reading of a sermon and to sing. How ancient a prac- 
tice this was in this Parish is not known. Judge Phillips was 
accustomed to read. He testified his interest in this service 



SABBATH SCHOOLS. 75 

by bequeathing, at his death, in 1802, a flagon to the church, on 
which was the following inscription : " By the direction of the 
late Samuel Phillips, Esq., Lieut.-Gov., this flagon is respect- 
fully presented to the South Church in Andover, as a memorial 
of his sincere affection and esteem, and of his eai-nest request 
that the laudable practice of reading in the house of public wor- 
ship between services may be continued, so long as even a small 
number shall be disposed to attend the exercise." The same 
day another flagon was presented by Samuel Abbot, Esq., bear- 
ing a similar inscription. The church voted each year, after- 
ward, at its annual meeting, to continue this practice. A com- 
mittee was usually appointed to invite the cooperation of the 
Parish in this service. Readers were appointed by this com- 
mittee, or, still more frequently, the Parish itself appointed 
several jDcrsons to secure readers. The last vote in the church 
to continue this reading was passed in 1828. 

Ten years before this last date the Sabbath School was 
formed. A preparatory movement ho,d commenced in the spring 
of 1816, by the organization of a Juvenile Bible Society. Every 
child, who daily read the Bible himself, or, if not old enough to 
read, who heard it read by others, and endeavored to understand 
and obey it, and who annually contributed to send it to the 
heathen, was a membei'. 

"At the opening of the [common] schools, in 181G, each teacher 
was furnished with a blank book ruled with eight columns. On 
the first column was to be written the name of each scholar : on 
the second, his age : on the third, the number of times he had 
been at the head of his class at the last spelling for the day : on 
the fourth, the number of books which he had taken from the 
library : on the flfth, the number of verses of hymns and divine 
songs which he had learned : on the sixth, the number of 
answers which he had learned, of the shorter Catechism : on 
the seventh, the number of verses which he had learned of the 
Bible : and, on the eighth, the number of cents which, in the 
course of one year, he had given to the Bible Society." 



76 nrsTORiCAL sketches. 

A committee, at the close of the schools, examined the schol- 
ars and inspected these books. A great deal of interest was thus 
excited, not only in behalf of the benevolent object of sending 
bibles to the heathen, but in the study of the Bible and Cate- 
chism, and the comm.itting of hymns. Of the 415 scholars then 
in the schools, " 127 learned through the Catechism; 241, all 
taken together, learned more than 7000 verses of hymns and 
divine songs, and 121 more than oOOO verses of the Bible." 

The Sabbath School was opened in the vestry in the spring 
of 1818. It was held, as since, during the intermission of public 
worship. The number of children the first year was 138. In 
the following summers, district Sabbath Schools were held at 
various points in j^he Parish, probably in the afternoon. Of 
these there were at one time seven. They continued in session 
from fourteen to eighteen weeks. July 22, 1827, owing to the 
large increase of scholars in the vestry, the school kept thei'e 
was removed to the meeting house, and the following winter the 
experiment of continuing the school through the year was tried 
witli complete succsss. 

Up to this date the scholars had been nearly all under twenty 
years of age. Of 330 pupils in the summer of 1827, only eight 
had passed this age. The religious interest of 1831 and the 
years following largely increased the school. At this time the 
first adult classes were formed. So large a number as G40 were 
tlien reported as members of the school. The number reported 
each year to 1838 was little less than 600. In the spring of 
1812 a report was made to the Sunday School Union of 384 
teachers and scholars. The above numbers seem to be the 
largest numbers on any one Sabbath, The following is the 
avera^je attendance in the school, from 1842 to 1859, inclusive :

SABBATH SCHOOLS. 77 

The teacliers of the school were at first veiy largely from the 
Seminary. It was found difficult to induce the male members 
of the church to take classes. Of thirty-five male teachers, in 
1827, all but four or five Avere from the Seminaiy. This evil 
has been somewhat corrected since. Yet at the Teachers' meet- 
ing, held at Dea. Blanchard's since 1840, only two male teachers 
are remembered as attending. At the present time there are 
ten female teachers and eighteen male, of whom eleven are from 
the Seminary. 

The prevailing impression is, that during the first five years 
of the school it had no Superintendent, formally recognized as 
such. The record books do not commence till 1823, and the one 
kept of the years 1829-1841 has been lost. The following table 
of Superintendents has been compiled, during those years, from 
the memories of different individuals.

The Superintendents previou.s to 184G, except Buell W. 
Smith, James Boutwell find Thomas E. Foster, were not mem- 
bers of this church. The latter Avas a native of the Parish. 
During several years Dea. Amos Abbott acted as Superin- 
tendent in the Seminary vacations. Dea. Newman, still ear- 
liei*, was a helper in this and many other ways. Since 1846, 
the Superintendents have all been of members of the church. 

Previous to the establishment of the Sabbath School, there 
had exi^;ted a social Library, owned by share-holders, but usually 
called the Parish Library. It was composed chiefly of religious 
books. It was replenished about the time of Mv. Edwards's set- 
tlement. In 1834 ninety volumes remained, and were incorpo- 
rated with the Sabbath School Library. " A Circulating Li- 
brary of Moral and Religious Tracts " was established in 1815. 
A large number of books suitable for children were procured, 
divided into as many parcels as there were [common] schools in 
the place, and one parcel, enclosed in a trunk, was left at each 
school. All children, whose conduct and improvement met the 
approbation of the teacher, were allowed to take a book from the 



SABBATH SCHOOLS. 79 

Librmy every Saturday. This was part of the arrangement of 
the Bible Society already mentioned. 

Books were procured for the Sabbath School in 1820. From 
1829 through several years a part of the coUections made at the 
communion table were appropriated for the increase of the 
Library. On the catalogue of the Library, in 1834, were 387 
volumes. After a revision had been made, and about thirty 
volumes added, the whole number actually in the Library was 
275. Revisions and additions were made, also, in 1842, 1847 
and 1851. In 1851 the catalogue contained the titles of 351 
books. A new i-evision was made in 1858, and a small collec- 
tion was taken for the benefit of the Library. There were then 
found 180 old books remaining. This number was inci-eased to 
239, by the purchase of new books. 

The Sabbath School Concert has been observed, statedly, for 
at least twenty years. Teachers' meetings have been held at 
various times, but have been frequently suspended. During the 
summer of 1858 a Sabbath Scliool prayer meeting was held in 
the vestry, on Saturday evening of each Aveek. 

In 1847, this Sabbath School formed, in connection with the 
other Sabbath Schools of the town, a Union Concert, holding its 
meetings quarterly. At the annual meeting in April, which was 
held in the South Church, a sermon was preached. At all the 
meetings reports were made of the attendance in* each school, 
and of any other facts of interest. This Concert was continued 
with harmony and profit till 1858.

XIII. 
CHARITABLE AND MISSIONARY EFFORTS. 

It seems strange to one tracing backward the recorils of the 
church from the present time, when so much of its effort is 
expended on missions and other benevolent movements, to come 
so soon to a period, when comparatively, if not absolutely, no 
such effort was in existence. The benevolent history of this 
church begins with 1814. A few individuals of its membership, 
had, previously, contributed to missionary societies. Some col- 
lections also may have been taken before this date. But the 
first general interest in associated and systematic efforts for 
doing good was awakened by the formation of " The Andover 
South Parish Society for the Reformation of Morals." In a 
discourse before this society, Mr. Edwards gives the following 
account of " the views and feelings, which on the 20th of April, 
1814, led to its formation." "A number of praying fathers," ot 
whom he mentions one in particular, Dea. Daniel Poor, who 
died the same year, " seeing the prevalence of immorality, par- 
ticularly Sabbath-breaking, intemperance, and profanity, and 
their destructive consequences to this, and future generations, 
not only for this life, but the life to come, looking with a tender 
concern on the children and rising generation, and feeling that 
their departure was at hand, expressed a desire to form a society, 
or do something, which might be the means of benefiting the 
children, of doing good, when they should be no more. . . . Often 
in the fulness of his soul, said the venerable father, who sleeps 
in yonder grave-yard, 0, that there would be soinething done for 
the chikb-cn." 

The object of this society was, as we shall see, a wide one. 
" It may be expressed," says the same discourse, " in two words, 
DOING GOOD." It met quarterly, and the Pastor, who Avas 
chairman of the standing committee, presented at each annual 



CHARITABLE AND MISSIONARY EFFORTS. 81 

meeting a full report. Eleven of these reports were made, and 
most of tliem are still among the church papei's. Two of Mr. 
Edwards's discourses before the society are likewise preserved. 
Dr. Porter preached before it also his discourse, " Great effects 
result from little causes," afterwards printed as No. 74, of the 
series of tracts issued by the American Tract Society. We hear 
nothing of this society after 1825. 

Attention was first paid to the evils of intemperance, profanity, 
and Sabbath-breaking. It was proposed to remedy these evils 
in three ways ; first, by personal influence and example of the 
members of the society ; secondly, by conversation in the fami- 
lies and neighborhoods ; thirdly, by the support of Tithingmen ; 
and fourthly, by attention to the children. In the course of two 
years much was done in these ways. The report for 1815, 
gives the following results. With reference to profanity : " This 
enormous evil, which a few years ago was so prevalent, has 
almost ceased, except it be with a few of the most degraded." 

" The alarming profanation of the Sabbath, which two years 
ago threatened to sweep everything before it, and was thought 
to be incurable, has not only been arrested and greatly checked, 
but almost entirely done away. . . . There is not probably one 
twentieth as much travelling on the Sabbath now as there was 
two years ago." 

''As to intemperance, although some individuals are still reeling 
to and fro, and some families clothed in woe by this iniquity, 
yet the evil has been greatly lessened. A few years ago $15,- 
000 were expended in tliis town for ardent spirits in one year. 
$8,000 more than was paid for the support of the gospel, and of 
all the schools, highways, state and county taxes, and all other 
town expenses. The people the last year did not probably 
expend one third of that sum. Ardent spirits in the respectable 
part of the community are becoming unfashionable and dis[)ensed

manner than before. The practice of taking wine at funerals is 
almost entirely abolished ; and it begins to be understood that 
ardent spirits, except in special cases as a medicine, are not only 
entirely useless, but ruinous to the bodies and souls of men." 

After 1815 the reports of the society make little mention of 
the subjects named above. But these subjects were not neglected 
in subsequent years. In 1824 a man intoxicated was suddenly 
killed by falling from his wagon near the house of the late Dea- 
con Poor. This called forth two sermons from Mr. Edwards, 
which are said to have made a strong impression on the people. 
Meanwhile, considerable attention had been given to those 
church members who were intemperate. Several had been 
excluded. In the years immediately following 1828, a still 
larger number of persons were excluded for this cause. The 
sentiments of the church were finally expressed by these resolu- 
tions : — 

1. Jan. 3, 1832. Resolved, That we, the members of this churcli, in 
the present enlightened state of the public mind in regard to the evils 
and the remedies of intemperance, feel ourselves required, by the 
spirit of the gospel, to refrain entirely from the manufacture, sale, or 
use of ardent spirits, except as an article of medicine. 

2. Jan. 3, 1832. ResolocI, That no person shall hereafter be con- 
sidered as a candidate for admission to this church, who n)ay be con- 
cerned in the manufacture, sale, or use of ardent spirits; unless, in the 
judgment of the committee for examining candidates, there may be 
special reasons sufficient to justify an exception to this rule. 

3. Feb. 5, 1833. Resolved, That the retailing of ardent spirits, at 
the present day, except as an article of medicine by an apothecary, Is 
inconsistent with a profession of the Christian religion ; and that this 
church will regard it, if practised by any of their members, as a juibllc 
scand il, subjecting sueh member or membei*3 to the discipline of the 
chureh. 

As the society noAV paid less attention to the improvement of 
morals in the Parish, its name was changed. In the report of 
1818 it is designated The Andovcr S. P. Missionary and Char-

itable Society. It had in 1815 received an auxiliary society of 
150 ladies, called The Female Charitable Society, and in 1816, 
another auxiliary, called The Juvenile Bible Society, which, we 
have seen, was preparatory to the Sabbath School. In 1818, a 
Sewing Society was foi'med for clothing the poor children and 
relieving the sick in the Parish. In 1819, "the little girls ope- 
rated together, and by working one half a day in a fortnight, 
obtained enough to support in the family of a missionary, one 
heathen child." The name of this child was Justin Edwards. 
This little society supported him about six years. Two other 
heathen children wei-e supported by associated individuals in 
other parts of the Parish. Their names were Jonathan French 
and John Adams. We learn, too, from the Missionary Herald 
for 1821, that there was a society called the Western Missionary 
Society, of which Miss Sarah Abbot was Ti-easurer for that year. 
In 1823, three other associations are mentioned, which may have 
been the same with those in existence before, except that their 
names were changed. The same year a subscription was made 
by twenty-two men, seventy-one women, and fifty children, pledg- 
ing sufficient money to support a school of forty Jewish children, 
to be called The Andover Jewish School. 

The other objects for which these societies labored, were prin- 
cipally the Translation of the Scriptures, the Distribution of 
Tracts, and the purchase of school-books for the poor children 
of. the Parish. During the first seven years of the society, the 
sums collected amounted to $800, or a little over $100 a year. 
In 1821 and 1822, the sum reported is $207. In 1823, the 
amount collected for all purposes was $336.61. 

In 1833, committees were for the first time appointed at the 
annual church meeting, to take charge of the several departments 
of Christian Benevolence to which the church were accustomed 
to contribute, it being understood that these committees should 
do all for the promotion of the respective objects assigned them, 
that is usually done by the executive officers of benevolent asso- 
ciations. The four leading conunittces at that time appointed, 



84 HISTORICAL SKETCHES. 

were on Foreign Missions, Home Missions, the Tract Society, 
and the Education Society. At some time since 1840 it became 
the custom for the church to sj ccify at its araiual meeting the 
principal objects for Avhich collections should be solicited, and 
some committee, or more commonly the pastor, appointed col- 
lectors in different districts. To the four c bjects just noAv men- 
tioned, the American Bible Society has for ten or twelve years 
been added. For other objects, contributions have been received 
in the meeting-house at the discretion of the pastor and deacon?. 
The contribution made at communion, has been ii large measure 
distributed to the poor. That made at monthly concerts, has 
been equally divided between the American Board and the 
American Home Missionary Society. The collection for the Sab- 
bath School cause, has been usually made in the Sabbath School. 

The following table exhibits the amounts raised for the jirin- 
cipal objects of benevolence, so far as it has been possible to 
ascertain them, from January 1840 to August 1859. If the 
total amount is given for any year, the blank spaces would indi- 
cate that no contribution was made for the particular cause that 
year. If the total amount is not given, it is uncertain whether 
the blanks should be filled. It is not probable that all the sums 
are given with perfect correctness. Some of them have been 
supplied from the acknowledgments contained in missionary 
publications. Those from 1840 to 1851, inclusive, except those 
for the years 1842 and 1847, were taken from the annual ser- 
mons of Rev. J. L. Taylor, kindly furnished for llie puqiose. 

The large sums given for the years 1840 and 1841 were oc- 
casioned by special collections in behalf of the Am. Abolition 
and Am. Anti-Slavery Societies. In the column designated as 
that of the Am. and For. Chr. Union the two first sums were 
given to the For. Evang. Society. In reference to the sums 
reported for the present year, it should be said tliat the donations 
to tlie A. B. C. F. M. and (he Am, Home INIiss. Society will be 
iniTca-cd by IMonthly Concert collections during the rem:uning 
months — probably thirty dollars each.

86 HISTORICAL SKETCHES. 

In May 183G, tliirty-five ladies associated themselves together 
as a society, under the name of the Canadian Missionary Society. 
Their special object at that time was the support of teachers 
among the French Canadian population. Two teachers belong- 
ing to the Parish, Miss Mary Abbot, since deceased, and Miss 
Phebe Foster, now Mrs. Dea. Jos. Cummings, were sustained 
there for two years, the former by the Sabbath School, and the 
latter by this Society, with the cooperation of the Juvenile Mis- 
sionary Society. 

At the close of the two years, in November 1838, the society 
took the name of the Female Charitable' Society, which it still 
retains. It has been a social Sewing Society, meeting once a 
fortnight, working for different objects in different years. Among 
these objects may be mentioned, in the order in which the society 
Avorked for them : Foreign Missions, For. Evangelical Society, 
"Western Reserve College, Home Missions, Seamen, and the 
support of a colporteur. For several of these objects, the society 
has worked two or three years. During other years some local 
object of benevolence has enlisted its sympathies and efforts. 
The amount of money annually received from the work, taxes, 
and subscriptions of this society, has varied from fifty to two 
hundred and fifty dollars. Probably one hundred and fifty is 
nearly the average amount. During its existence it has contri- 
buted not far from $2,000 to benevolent purposes. It has had a 
social value to the Parish also, of itself sufficient, it is believed, 
to justify its continuance. 

The Juvenile Missionary Society was probably formed at 
about the same time with the Canadian Missionary Society, with 
which it cooperated. It owed much in the first years to Miss 
Mary Abbot, just now mentioned. Mrs. Mehitabel G. Abbot, 
Mrs. Phebe Cummings, Miss Mary E. Hidden, and Miss Han- 
nah E. Whittier, have successively directed and upheld it. In 
the year 1851, it contributed to Foreign Missions $98. Not 
long after this the effort to continue it was deemed discouraging, 
and before 1855 it was given up. During tlie years 1857-8 



ORGANIZATION OF OTHER CHURCHES. 87 

Miss Anstice Abbot gathered a few girls into a society. A 
more vigorous and hopeful attempt to revive and sustain this 
department of missionary effort has been made within a few- 
months by Miss C. II. Swift and Miss S. M. Sweetser. It is 
pleasant thus to be able to close the account of charitable and 
missionary efforts, with the thought, that what was well begun in 
1814 (the effort to interest the young in doing good), has not, for 
any long time, been wholly overlooked. 



XIV. 
OKGANIZATION OF OTHER CHUECHES. 

October 26, 1729, " Such of the inhabitants of Methuen as 
had been, at one time and another, admitted to communion here, 
were dismissed." Fourteen were then dismissed, and the church 
in Methuen was organized Nov. 5th of the same year. 

The settlement of Concord, N. H., in 1727, was commenced, 
to a large extent, by citizens of Andover. Almost a fourth of 
the settlers were from this town. Rev. Mr. Phillips was one 
of the first proprietors. He, with two delegates from this 
church, Avere of the council, which assembled Nov. 18, 1730, 
*' to constitute a church in the said plantation," and to ordain its 
first pastor. One of the eight members then constituted a 
church was of his flock. But for several years that church was 
strengthened by numerous dismissions from this. 

In 1738, the year of the organization of the church in Pem- 
broke, N. H., seven members of the South Church were dis- 
missed to be incorporated with that enterprise. 

The church in IloUis, N. II., was formed in 1743. Three of 
its first members were from this church. 

Two members of this church, with six persons from other 



88 HISTORICAL SKETCHES. 

churches, con>tituted the church at Wihon, N. H., which was 
gathered Dec. 14, 1763. Six: more were recommended to join 
them in 1765. During the remaining years of the century this 
number was greatly increased. 

Several other churches of New Hampshire, as will be seen by 
the catalogue, were either partly foi-med or strengthened from 
this church. Among them may be especially mentioned those 
in Pelham, Amherst, Loudon, Hancock, Weare, Deering, Green- 
field and Peterboro'. 

The churches in Bethel and Norway, Maine, were in some 
measure nourished, in early years, by this church. The church 
in the neighboring town of Albany received hence, at its forma- 
tion, in 18U3, ten of its members. 

In the year 1816 the church connected with the Theological 
Seminaiy was formed. Five members of this church connected 
themselves with it. 

November 28, 1826, fifty-six members of this church received 
dismission, and, on the fifth of December following, were organ- 
ized as the West church in Andover, adopting the same Con- 
fession of Faith and Covenant as are used by this chui'ch. Their 
meeting-house was dedicated Dec. 26, 1826. The successive 
pastors of the West Church have been 

Rev. Samuel C. Jackson, D. D., Ordained June 6, 1827, Dismissed 
Sept. 25, 1850. 

Rev. Charles II. Pierce, Ordained Oct. 9, 1850, Dismissed June 
1, 1855. 

Rev. James II. Merrill, Installed April 30, 185G. 

The Methodists began to preach, it is believed, in the Bank 
Hall, as early as 1830. A church was apparently in existence 
at the close of 1831. Within about two yeai's from tliis date six 
members were dismissed from this to the Methodist Church. A 
large number of tax-payers left the parish and connected thcm- 
eclves with the new Society. A meeting-house was soon built, 



ORGANIZATION OF OTHER CHURCHES. 89 

and, at times, the church was flourishing. It grew feeble after a 
few years. Its last minister left before, or during, the year 
1840. Its organization was kept several years after this, but 
the meeting-house at length passed into other hands, and only 
the foundation stones remain on the old site. 

In the fall of 1832, the Baptist Church of this town was 
formed. No person, at the time a member of the South Church, 
was engaged in its formation. Quite a number of persons be- 
longing to the Parish, however, connected themselves with the 
Baptist Society. The Baptist Church was Recognized Oct. 3, 
1832. The meeting-house was dedicated August 28, 1834. 
The public services of Recognition were held in the South meet- 
ing house, by invitation. The ministers of this people were 

Rev. James Huckins, Inst. August 28, 1834, Res. Oct. 25, 1835. 
Rev. George J. Carleton, Inst. June 15, 1836, Res. Oct. 5, 1838. 
Rev. Nathaniel Hervey, Invited August 11, 1839, Left 1841. 
Rev. Benjamin S. Cobbett, Ord. Feb. 8, 1842, Res. Oct. 5, 1847. 
Rev. SUas B. Randall, Came Oct. 1, 1848, Left Oct. 1849. 

From this latter date, for ten years, this church did not sus- 
tain stated services. The church dissolved itself Dec. 8, 1857. 
Sixteen members united, as a branch, with the church in Law- 
rence, under the care of Rev. Frank Remington. During Mr. 
R.'s preaching, continued here for several weeks following, a 
large number of persons were baptized, and, on the 28th of July, 
1858, a Baptist Church of 156 members was Recognized. Rev. 
"Wm. S. McKenzie was the same day Recognized as its pastor. 

The Evangelical Church at North Andover received fourteen 
of its thirty-one original members from the South Church. The 
church was organized and its meeting-house dedicated Sept. 3, 
1834. It has had three pastors : 

Rev. Jesse Page, Ord. Sept. 9, 1835, Dis. June 7, 1843. 
Rev. William T. Briggs, Ord. Nov. 4, 184G, Dis. 1855. 
Rev. L. II. Cobb, Ord. Oct. 28, 1857.

90 HISTORICAL SKETCHES. 

The first time the services of the Protestant Episco])al Church 
were performed in Andover, was in the summer of 1835, when 
Rt. Rev. B, B. Smith, of Kentucky, officiated, on Sunday, three 
times, in the Bank Halh The first meeting relative to the for- 
mation of a religious society was held in the same place July 
28th of the same summer. Tlie first Parish meeting was held 
August 6th. Tlie first communion was on April 3, 183G. Dur- 
ing the years 1837 and 1838 fourteen members of the South 
Church were dismissed and became communicants with tiiis new 
church, which had taken the name of Christ Church. The 
church edifice was consecrated Oct. 31, 1837. Its ministers 
have been 

Rev. James H. Tyng, 1836. 

Rev. Joseph H. Clinch, 1837. 

Rev. Samuel Fuller, D. D., Oct. 1, 1837 — June 26, 1843. 

Rev. George Packard, 1843 — 1845. 

Rev. Henry Waterman, Dec. 1845 — June 5, 1849. 

Rev. Samuel Fuller, D. D., Oct. 1, 1849 — Oct. 1, 1859. 

A Universalist Society Avas formed here in the fall of 1837, and 
a meeting-house built in the year 1838. A chui'ch was formed 
later. Public worship has been irregularly sustained ; for seve- 
ral years, after 1846, it was entirely suspended. At j^resent it 
is supported but half the time. 

The Free Christian Church of Andover was organized in 
1846. Of its forty-four original members, fourteen were dis- 
missed from the South Church. It was organized, through a 
council of churches, May 7, 1846. Sabbath services had com- 
menced some months before this date. For a few years the ser- 
vices were held in the Universalist Church. But in 1849 the 
Methodist Church was purchased and removed, and from it the 
present meeting house of this society was built. The pastors of 
the Free Cluirch have been 

Rev. Elijah C. Winchester, Feb. 1846 — Sept. 1848. 
Rev. Sherlock Bristol, Oct. 1848 — Oct. 1849. 



CONTRIBUTION TO THE MINISTRY. 91 

Rev. William B. Brown, August 1850 — April 1855. 
Rev. Caleb E. Fisher, June 1855 —May 1859. 
■Rev. S. C. Leonard, Sept. 1859. 

Some time before 1847 a Sabbatli School was opened in 
Ballard Vale, and Sabbath evening services conducted there by 
persons connected with this and the neighboring churches. At 
a meeting of citizens in the village, in 1847, it was thought most 
proper that the stated services should be those of the Episcopal 
Chui'ch. Accordingly", such services were continued in the 
Depot Hall till August 1849. Worship in that form not receiv- 
ing sufficient support, a Union Society was formed, and a 
preacher employed for six months. At the end of this time 
he joined the New England Conference, and gathered a ]\Ietho- 
dist Church. This was in the early part, probably, of 1850. 
The Methodist Society, in 1851, built a meeting-house. They 
have not been able to support, except at short intervals, a resi- 
dent preacher. * 

Immediately on the formation of the Methodist Church the 
TJnion Society repaired to the Union Hall, where they have 
since maintained public worship. Rev. Henry S. Greene began 
to preach for them in Sept., 1850. A Congregational Church of 
eleven members, nine of whom were from the South Church, was 
organized Dec. 31, 1854. Mr. Greene was installed their pas- 
tor, by a council of Congregational Churches, April 1, 1855.

Besides the above ministers, this church has contributed a 
much larger number of ministers' wives. The attentive obser- 
ver of the catalogue of the church will be led to mark how fre- 
quently the names of such occur. " Our position," says the Rev. 
Mr. Taylor, in his half-century sermon, 1851, " lays us under 
contribution often in this respect. . . . Even within the period 
now in question, we have supplied at least twenty-five such wit- 
nesses to our character, as the wives of clergymen alone." It 
would have been pleasant to have been able to supply the names 
of all these, with some brief notices of them. It has also been 
difficult to forego the pleasure of presenting some notices of 
prominent lay-memberS of the church and Parish, whose names 
are intimately connected with the reputation of the town and 
especially with the prosperity of the literary institutions here, 
but the labor has seemed too great to be consistent with other 
duties. 



XVI. 
PASTORS. 



The first Pastor was the Rev. Samuel Phillips. He was 
born in Salem, February 17, 1690. His father, Samuel, Avas a 
son of the Rev. Samuel Phillii)s, of Rowley, and a grandson of 
Rev. George Phillips, the first minister at "Watertown. His

mother, Sarah, was a daughter of the Eev. John Emerson, of 
Gloucester. He was received to the church in Salem, October f), 
1707, then a member of Harvard College, and in his eighteenth 
year. He was graduated in 1708. For one year he was occu- 
pied with teaching at Chebacco, now Essex, and then devoted 
himself more exclusively to preparation for the ministiy. He 
preached at Norton with great acceptance, and received a call 
to settle with the new church in that town ; but the influence of 
the minister of the old Parish of Taunton was unfavorable, and 
though he "gaTe a favorable answer," he was not ordained. 
He commenced preaching in this Parish April 30, 1710. At a 
meeting, November 2d, " it being put to vote whether the Pre- 
cinct do desire the Continuance of the Rev. Mr. Phillips with us, 
it passed cleaily on y*^ affirmative." December 12, 1710, the 
Parish voted unanimously that he should be their " Settled Min- 
ister." Because he was unwilling to assume such a charge while 
so young, his ordination was defei*red nearly a year, and took j)lace 
on the same day with the organization of the church, October 
17, 1711. He preached the Sermon himself, from Ezek. 3 : 17. 
His ministry continued here tiU his death, June 5, 1771, and he 
supplied the pulpit till the first part of April previous, a period 
of active service for one people of sixty-one years. 

In one of the petitions presented by his people to the Genei-al 
Court shortly after his settlement, they describe themselves as 
'• being now provided with a worthy, learned, and pious minister." 
They continued of the same mind during his whole ministry.- 
They "were remarkably united," and "free from sectaries." 
Every memorial remaining of him, assures us that the epithets 
" worthy, learned, and pious," were deserved by the man, as well 
a? in current courtesy due to the minister. '' He was," says the 
late Dr. Abiel Abbot, "endowed with good powers of mind, and 
was a diligent, faithful, and useful minister. . . . As a preacher 
he was highly respectable, was zealous, and cndeavoi-ed not only 
to indoctrinate his peojde in sentiments wliich he deemed correct 
and important, but to lead them to the practice of all Christian 



REV. SAMUEL PHILLIPS. 97 

virtues." The numerous sermons which he has left in print and 
manuscript, more than confirm tliis description. Tliey are plain, 
direct, and earnest letters to his people. lie rebuked in homely 
and literal terms the prevalent vices of his day and parish. The 
duties which he urged upon them were specific and definite. He 
did not aim at novelty in the illustration or arrangement of his 
themes. Adhering to the somewhat cumbersome formality of 
various and minute division, characteristic of early puritan 
preaching, he nevertheless was thus able to repeat and impress 
the oftener the truth he was discussing. If there was slower 
progress in thought, there was the steady repetition of the same 
important views. What characterized in tliis regard one ser- 
mon, characterized his whole preaching — the steady and earnest 
enforcement, week after week and year after year, in a well- 
known method, of well-known doctrines and duties. " His labors 
in the pulpit were protracted beyond what is usual at the present 
day. His hour-glass was turned at the commencement of his 
sermon, and the last sands ran out before its conclusion." He 
must have been highly esteemed as a preacher, for he not only 
preached an Artillery Election, a General Election, and a Con- 
vention Sermon, but, as it would apj^year, several times, on ex- 
change with other ministers, his sermons were solicited for pub- 
lication. In this manner, " at the desire of many who heard " 
them, were the discourses on Justification and Living "Water 
printed, after having been preached, the one at the Old South 
Church, and the other at the Church in Brattle Square, Boston. 
As early as 1729, his friend and classmate, John \Ycbb, pastor of 
New North Church, Boston, says of him, in the preface of Ad- 
vice to a Child : " The discourses he has published heretofore, 
have given him this testimony in the consciences of all good 
Christians who have read them. That he is a well-qualified and 
faithful minister of Jesus Christ." 

In his Theological position he was a decided and zealous Cal- 
vinist, in strictest conformity to the Westminster Catechism. He

sies of the time. He was one, however, of the five Pastors wlio 
wrote " a highly commendatory preface " to a pamphlet in defence 
of the doctrine of Original Sin, written by Mr. Clark, of Dan- 
vers, in answer to the author of " A Winter Evening's Conver- 
sation." This latter work was the occasion of a long and eminent 
controversy. His name appears also in the list of subscribers 
for the publication of Edwards's Treatise on Original Sin. But, 
though he did not engage directly in controversy, his published 
discourses and books never give forth an uncertain sound. He 
takes pains to declare his doctrinal views, and to express his 
fears with respect to Arminianism. To his own people he ex- 
pressed himself very plainly. For their benefit he wrote " Sea- 
sonable Advice to a Neighbor," in which he holds fast, as on 
other public occasions he had exhorted others to do, " in partic- 
ular the doctrine of Original Sin, and that of the Nature and 
Necessity of the New-Birth, and that of JtistiJicatio7i by Faith 
without the ivorks of the Law, and that of the Divine Decrees, 
as also that of the Saints' Perseverance." Though he " would 
not be understood to intend absolutely to confine real Christianity 
to those who ax*e fully in the scheme of principles called Calvin- 
istic," yet he is moved thus to speak, " being fully persuaded 
that those truths are most consonant, not only to antiquity, but 
also to the true standard, the Word of Inspiration." He heart- 
ily wishes, he is not ashamed to say, that the number of those 
who bear the name of Calvinist " may be abundantly increased ; " 
and for myself, Ut sit Anima mea citm Pjiritanis" This liftle 
treatise, reprinted in 1811 and distributed through the town 
imdcr the legacy of Judge Pliillips, was written in 1761, and 
dedicated to the South Parish, with the prayer of their pastor 
tliat they might ahvays hold flist the form of sound words, and 
especially might not settle any succeeding mini.'^ter of opposite 
faith. Yet, with these strong doctrinal opinions, he was able to 
unite his own people, and to maintain fellowship with neighbor- 
ing clergymen of a looser and dangerous creed. Some of these 
ministers, during the great awakening, sent in a remonstrance 



KEV. SAMUEL PHILLIPS. 99 

against "Whitefiekl, Mr. Phillips, though his own congregation 
was entirely unattecteJ bj that movement, did not join them. 
The pastors with whom his name is most frequently mentioned, 
were the warm friends and promoters of that revival. Preaching 
in Boston in the Spring of 1741, after the first visit of Whitefield to 
New England, he stops in his discourse to say : " Thanks be given 
to Zion's King, that there are so many at this day, more espe- 
cially in this town, who are asking the way to Zion, with their 
faces thitherward." The introduction of unlearned men into the 
ministry, and the practice of intrusion by Evangelists or other 
ministers into parishes not their own, without the approbation of 
the pastors of those parishes, were two results of the revival 
with which he did not sympathize, but publicly deprecated them. 

Mr. Phillips's publications were numerous. The following is 
a complete list : Elegy upon the death of Nicholas Noyes and 
George Curwen, 1718. A word in Season, 1727. Threejjlain, 
practical Discourses, 1728. Advice to a Child, 1729. The His- 
tory of the Saviour, 1738. The Orthodox Christian, 1738. A 
Minister's Address to his People, 1739. A Preface to Mr. Bar- 
nard's funeral sermon for Mr. Abiel Abbot, 1739. Artillery 
Election Sermon, 1741. Living Water to be had for Asking, 
1750. A Sermon at the General Election, 1750. A Sermon 
at the Installation of Rev. Samuel Chandler, 1751. Sinner's 
Refusal to come to Christ Reproved, 1753. The Necessity of 
God's drawing in order to men's coming unto Christ, 1753. Con- 
vention Sermon, 1753. >2ermon at the Ordination of Nathan 
Holt, 1759. Seasonable Advice to a Neighbor, 1761. Address 
to Young People, 17G3. Discourse on Justification, 17GG. A 
Sermon on Suicide, 1767. 

A lai'ge number of these works were composed for his own 
people, and in these he frequently expresses his warm pastoral 
interest for them. He identified himself closely with them. He 
was eminently kind and faithful in discipline. His care for the 
young was specially great. " It was his practice to call at every 
house in his parish, at least once in a year, and he often carried 



too HISTORICAL SKETCHES. 

Madam with liim in these parochial visits. Tliey usually rode 
together on the same horse, according to the fashion of the 
times. He had much influence in persuading parents to attend 
to parental duties and household worsliip. Though a man of 
considerable humor, yet there was an apparent sternness, which 
caused undue fear in many of his people, and especially among 
the young." 

" He early acquired the habit of order, industry, and economy 
in the management of all his affairs, by which he was enabled to 
accomplish much and attain his object. Though he sacredly 
devoted a tenth part of his income to jjious and charitable pur- 
poses, and bis salary was small, yet he educated his family lib- 
erally, and accumulated a large estate." At his death he left 
£100 as an abiding fund for the relief of indigent persons in 
the South Parish of Andover, namely : " Proper objects of char- 
ity, and such as receive no help from the town, more especially 
those of the church in the said parish standing in need of relief." 
He gave "the like sum of £100 for the pious and charitable use 
of propagating Christian knowledge among the Indians of North 
America." 

A still fuller legacy did this pastor leave to his parish and the 
world in the lives of his children. Their mother was Hannah, 
daughter of John White, Esq., of Haverhill. She was married 
to Mr. Phillips, January 17, 1711-12, and died January 7, 1773, 
in the eighty-second year of her age. The records of the church 
do not contain her name, but a manuscript catalogue, commenced 
in 17G5, shows that she was a communicant. The children 
were : 

1. I\Iaiy, born Nov. 30, 1712, married Samuel Apploton, of Ilaver- 
hill, died 1737. 

2. Samuel, born February 13, 1715; II. U. 1734; Teacher and 
Merchant at North Andover; Deacon of the Church; Rcprescntalive

cially his son, Judge Samuel IMiililps, of rhilHpa Academy, Andover,

der of Phillips Academy, Exeter, N. H. ; contributed liberally to the 
College at Princeton ; died April 21, 1795. 

5. William, born June 25, 1722; an active and successful Merchant 
at Boston ; active in the proceedings which preceded and attended the 
Revolution ; Representative and Senator, and Member of the Consti- 
tutional Convention ; Deacon of Old South Church ; Trustee of Phil- 
lips Academy, Andover, to which he gave SGOOO. His son, Lieutenant 
Governor William, gave to the Academy and Seminary !$4 2,000. 
The father died January 15, 1804. 



During nearly a year after the death of Mr. Phillips, the 
Parish was much agitated on the question of the division ; but 
May 5th, the church made an unanimous choice of Mr. Jona- 
than French as its pastor. The Parish unanimously con- 
curred in the choice May 20th. He was ordained September 
23, 1772. 

Mr. French was born at Braintree, Mass., January 30, 1740. 
He was the youngest son of Moses French. His mother, Esther 
Thayer, a great granddaughter of John Alden, was the ninth 
of fourteen children, all of whom lived to "enter a family 
state, and to make the noble resolution of Joshua : as for me 
and my house, we will serve the Lord." His youngest sister, 
Deliverance, was the first wife of Dr. Emmons, of Franklin. 

Mr, French lived with his father, a farmer, till his seventeenth 
year. In March, 1757, he enlisted as a private soldier, and re-

paired to Fort Edwai'd. Disabled for active service by sickness, 
he obtained a discharge, and returned home in October. Soon 
after, he was stationed as sergeant at Castle William, had also 
charge of the Sutler's store, and, in the frequent absence of the 
superior officers, sustained the care of the whole garrison. Dur- 
ing his residence there, he enjoyed the acquaintance of many 
literary characters from Boston and its vicinity. He diligently 
improved these advantages and his opportunities for reading. He 
had a natural fondness for mathematical studies ; but his atten- 
tion was now turned chiefly to medicine and surgery. He 
made so great proficiency in these, that the care of the sick at 
the garrison was often entrusted to him ; and the physicians 
there, who had assisted him in his studies, advised him to pursue 
this profession. He was at one time on the point of yielding to 
this advice ; but the prospect of greater usefulness, and the en- 
couragement offered by other friends, induced him to resolve 
upon a collegiate education. 

The chaplains of the castle aided him in his preparatory 
studies. He used to study his classics, while rowed back and 
forth between Boston and the castle by the crew under his com- 
mand. In 17G7, resigning his sword to his successor, he entered 
Harvard College. He was graduated in 1771. Among his 
classmates were two natives of Andover, Samuel Phillips, Jr., 
and David Osgood. He possessed, owing, perhaps, in some de- 
gree to his age and experience, in an uncommon degree, the con- 
fidence of his instructors. His collegiate life was characterized 
by conformity to law, and by diligent attention to study. lie 
associated much with persons of piety, and especially for pur- 
poses of devotion and religious improvement. After his gradu- 
ation he continued at Cambridge in the study of Divinity, resid- 
ing in the family of the widow of President Holyoke. 

It had been his purpose to spend his life as a Missionary to 
the Indians. But he was induced to accept an invitation to 
preach as a candidate at Andover, which led to his settlement, 
in Ills .')3d year. He continued pastor till his death, July 28, 
1809 — a ministry of thirty-seven years. 



REV. JONATHAN FRENCH. 103 

*• Mr. Frencli was rather short in stature, and inclined to be 
corpulent ; and, as might be expected, was not remarkable for 
bodily activity. In liis natural disposition he was cheerful and 
social, and in his manners easy and familiar. He was uncom- 
monly accessible and unceremonious ; was much at home amongst 
the memorabilia of the past ; had much interesting and useful 
anecdote at his command ; and conversed intelligently and agree- 
ably upon the passing events and ordinary topics of the day. 
There was so much of friendliness and kindness expressed in 
his manner, that those with whom he conversed were quite sure 
to feel altogether at their ease. Though he possessed a good 
share of sensitiveness, he generally kept his feelings under good 
control, and if at any time they became suddenly too much ex- 
cited, he would not unfi-equently retire into his study and remain 
until he had regained full self-possession." ^ 

" He loved children, and was beloved by them in return. . . . 
His manners and language to the young were of the most 'win- 
ning and appropriate kind ; nothing studied, nothing forced or 
far-fetched." ^ . . . " He annually catechized the cliildren in the 

seven school districts into which the parish was divided 

His chscourse to the lambs of his flock on such occasions, was 

remarkably appropriate and impressive Twice a year he 

formally visited all the schools in his parish." ^ 

" His house was a seat of hospitality. To every brother in 
the ministry, and to a large circle of acquaintance, his doors 
were always open, and every one who came, met with a cordial 
welcome. His ho.-jpitality kept him even on the lookout for 
visitors ; and many a nice dinner have I seen set aside for a 
friend who might chance to call after the regular dining hour 
was past." * 

" Seldom was any minister more beloved, esteemed, and ven- 
erated by his parishioners. They constantly applied to him for

counsel in all their difficulties, temporal as well as spiritual." ^ 
In the early part of his ministry he was serviceable to them as 
a physician. His attentions in this respect, and his medicines, 
were gratuitous. On the Sabbath momiing when the news 
reached Audover of the battle of Bunker Hill, he set oflf", with 
his gun and surgical instruments, immediately for the army. 
Four persons belonging to his parish were killed in that battle, 
and several wounded. He was of much assistance in ministering 
to the necessities of the wounded. His sympathies with the 
distressed and suffering were very quick. On all occasions in 
which his feelings were called forth, his words and manner were 
specially appropriate. 

" Mr. French was characterized by substantial good sense, 
rather than by brilliant or showy qualities. He was a careful 
observer of men and things, and knew well how to retain the 
confidence and good-will of his fellow men, especially of his own 
charge, without in tlie least compromitting any of his obligations. 

"As a preacher, he maintained a highly respectable rank. His 
preaching was rather practical than doctrinal. For though he 
cordially received the Calvinistic doctrines, he very rarely went 
into a particular exposition of them — much less attempted any- 
thing like a formal defence. He dwelt upon the principles and 
rules of Christian duty." ^ His sermons were usually written, 
though sometimes extemporaneous. His great object was to be 
useful rather than elegant, to offer the plain and momentous 
truths of the Gospel in a language which all might understand. 
His manner of preaching was serious, solemn and impressive. 
His voice was strong, pleasing, and piercing. "In the latter 
part of his life his delivery was exceedingly deliberate — too 
much so for the natural current of men's thoughts. It was a 
habit into which he fell from his efforts to avoid the o])posite ex- 
treme. He told me that, in tlie early part of his ministry, he 
was inclined to a very rapid utterance ; and that, in order to

acquire greater moderation, he used occasionally to write upon 
the top of some pages of his manuscript : ' a little slower.' " ^ 

As a Theologian, it seems evident that Mr. French not only 
did not make very sharp disci'iminations, but was rather averse 
to having them made. He was, beyond all dispute, no friend to 
the Hopkinsian theories of his day. Yet, as between such Ar- 
minians c,s Dr. Symmes, of the North Parish, and Dr. Cum- 
mings, of Billerica, and the Calvinists as a class, he undoubtedly 
sided with the latter. He was nearly the only one of his Asso- 
ciation whose sympathies were Calvinistic. The remark of Rev. 
Reuben Emerson, of South Reading, in a recent note, is : " He 
was reputed a Calvinist, though living in the atmosphere of Ar- 
minianism." An impression prevailed among some, at least, of 
the common hearers of his sermons, that he felt this atmosphere 
so much as not fully to utter his own convictions. I have heard 
it said, that after preaching sound and solemn doctrine, he was 
in the habit of adding a remai'k or two, which mitigated very 
much the severity of his statements. He exchanged freely with 
ministers of the right and left wing. 

He was one of the Trustees of Phillips Academy from the 
beginning. After 1792, he preached occasionally in the Acad- 
emy, and gave Theological instruction to its members, for which 
a small salary was given him — £10 the first year, and $80 in 
1807. He was especially consulted by Samuel Abbot, Esq., in 
the disposal of the property which Mr. Abbot gave for the estab- 
lishment of the Theological Seminary. He viewed with some 
distrust the union of the two Calvinistic parties in the establish- 
ment of the Seminary within his Parish, but finally voted for it. 

He had himself kept a Divinity School in his own family. 
Among those educated by him, were, probably, the following : 
P.ev. Amos Clark, of Dedham, Rev. Samuel Gile, D. D., of Mil- 
ton, Prof John Farrar, of Cambridge, James Thompson, Daniel 
Bates, Rev. James Kendall, D. D., Jonathan Huse, Rev. Micah 
Stone, of Brookfield, and Rev. Samuel Stearns, of Bedford.

, The following is. a list of Mr. French's publications: A Ser- 
mon against Extortion, 1777. A Sermon at the Ordination of 
Daniel Oliver, 1787. A Sermon at the Ordination of Abiel 
Abbot, 1705. A Sermon at the General Election, 1796. A 
Sermon at the Anniversary Thanksgiving, 1798. A Sermon at 
the Ordination of James Kendall, 1800. A Sermon at the Or- 
dination of his Son, 1801. An Evening Lecture at Port.<mouth, 
1805. A Charge at the Ordination of Prof. Pearson, 1808. 

Mr. French was married, in 1 773, to Abigail Richards, of 
Weymouth. She died August 1821, aged 79. Their children 
were : 

Sarah, born November 18, 1774, died joung. 

Abfgail, born May 29, 1776, married Rev. Samuel Stearns, of Bed- 
ford. 

Jonathan, born August 16, 1777, Pastor at Northampton, N. II. (see 
page 93). 

Mary Ilolyoke, born August G, 1781, married Kcv. Ebcnczer P. 
Sperry, of Wenham. 

Sarah, born December 13, 1784, died April 12, 1788. 

According to the ancient custom, the Parish, soon after the 
death of Mr. French, concurred with the church in appointing a 
day of Fasting and Prayer, with reference to '* the re-settlement 
of the Gospel ministry." For three years, sufficient unanimity 
war, not secured to induce any one to become pastor. May 2d, 
1810, ]Mr. Gardiner Spring [D. D. ; long pastor of the Brick 
Pres. Church, N. Y. City] was chosen by the church in a full 
meeting, and received a small majority of the vote in the Par- 
ish. September 18tli, Mr. "Worthington Wright [since jiaslor'at 
Charlestown, N. II.] was also chosen by the church in a small 
meeting, and a communication%from him prevented any vole in the 
Parish. April 2d, 1811, JNIr. Gamaliel S. Olds [afterwards 
Prof. Wins. College, Pastor at Greenfield, Prof, at U. Yt. and 
at A. C, died 1848] received 47 of G2 votes in the church, and 
of 180 voters at the Parish meeting which followed, 128 voted 
for him. Put tliree weeks afterward, on an amendment being 



REV. JUSTIN EDWARDS. 107 

oiFered that his salary be paid semi-annually, while 88 were in 
favor, 45 ballots were cast in opposition, and 15 persons did not 
vote. In August following, a majority of the church and Parish 
united in calling Rev. Asahel Hooker [afterwards settled at 
Norwich, Ct. ; died 1813], but on a second vote in the Parish, 
the number of votes against him was largely increased. In the 
Spring of 1812, the attention of the people was turned toward 
]Mr. Justin Edwards, then a member of the Middle Class in 
the Theological Seminary. Overtures were made to him by the 
Committee for Supply of the Pulpit. He wrote a letter, ex- 
pressing his views of the necessity of thorough prepai'ation on 
his part before he should undertake so responsible a charge, and 
requested that nothing be done towards calling him to settle in 
this Parish. But July 24th, the church gave him a call, by a 
vote of 49, and 3 neuter, and on the 10th of August the Parish 
concurred by the large vote of " 163 and 19 in the negative." 

Mr. Edwards was born in Westhampton, April 25, 1787. He 
was the third child of Justin and Elizabeth (Clark) EdAvards. 
The first American ancestor of the family, Alexander Edwards, 
came from Wales in 1640. The grandfather of the late cher- 
ished Prof. Bela B. Edwards, and the grandfather of the sub- 
ject of this notice, were brothers. 

The mother of Mr. Edwards was a devoted, active Christian ; 
his father, " a quiet farmer that minded his own business, a man 
of few words, and perfectly honest." The church at Westhamp- 
ton, like the one at Andover, was essentially evangelical in 
doctrine, but without revivals, and without social meetings for 
prayer. In his eighteenth year, Mr. Edwards had the privilege 
of seeing an aged Christian woman, mentioned by Pres. Edwards 
as converted in her fifth year, sicken and die, sustained by the 
Saviour in whom she had trusted nearly seventy years. He 
said to himself, "here is a religion that I have not, and must 
have." After calm but thorough reflection, he cast his all upon 
Christ as his Saviour, and soon engaged actively for the salva- 
tion of others. While teaching in his native town, his school 



108 HISTORICAL SKETCHES. 

was a scene of deep religious interest. Oct. 8, 1807, he waa 
admitted a Sophomore at Williams College. He was graduated 
there, the Valedictorian of his class, in 1810. Dependent on 
his own resources, he often saved expense, a. ad preserved a ro- 
bust health, by walking from his father's house to College, a 
distance of forty miles. His winter vacations were spent in 
teaching. 

After his graduation, he continued teaching for a few months, 
at Athens, N. Y., and in March, 1811, joined the Theological 
Seminary in this town. At College he had been associated with 
Samuel J. Mills, Gordon Ilall, and James Richards. He found 
them here, and joined in their counsels and prayers in the 
Seminary. He became ardently attached to the Missionary 
enterprise. His piety, wisdom and activity, won for him the 
confidence of all his acquaintance. The Professors were con- 
strained to allow him to leave the Seminary and enter upon the 
pastoral work among them. He was ordained December 2, 1812. 

His pastorate continued in ^Vndover till October 1, 1827. An 
agency for the American Temperance Society engaged his la- 
bors till his installation as pastor of Salem street Church, Bos- 
ton, January 1, 1828. His health failing, he resigned that 
charge, and was dismissed August 20, 1829. He then resumed 
his labors as the Corresponding Secretary of the American 
Temperance Society. In the discharge of this office, he visited 
large portions of the United States, forming societies, delivering 
addresses, using his personal influence in private counsels, and 
producing a series of papers, the *' Permanent Temjierance 
Documents," which continue to have great power in this cause. 

On the 7tli of September, 1836, Mr. Edwards was inaugu- 
rated President of the Theological Seminary in Andovcr. His 
connection with the Seminary, as President, ceased on the 10th 
of April, 1842. 

For one year afterwards, he was employed again in the ser- 
vice of the Temperance Society. On tlic formation of the 
American and Foreign Sabbath Union, he was chosen Sccrc- 



REV. JUSTIN EDWARDS. 1 

tary; for seven years he travelled 48,000 miles, and through 
twenty-four states, addressed public assemblies, and prepared 
"The Permanent Sabbath Documents," the ablest and most 
condensed plea for the Sabbath Avhich the language furnishes. 

From 1849 to his death, he was chiefly employed, by request 
of the American Tract Society, in writing a brief Commentary 
on the Scriptures. He completed the New Testament, and car- 
ried his work on the Old to the end of the ninetieth Psalm. The 
last year of his life, from April 18o2, was a year of sickness, com- 
mencing with fever, and followed by inflammation of the brain and 
great nervous exhaustion. On the 8th of June, 1853, he left 
Andover for the Virginia Springs. In company with his young- 
est daughter and Gen. Cocke, he proceeded to the Rockbridge 
Alum Springs. After remaining four days, his daughter accom- 
panied him alone to the Bath Alum Sj^rings, where they an-ived 
July loth. He was immediately taken severely ill, and after 
lingering a few days in great debility, died calmly on Saturday 
morning, July 24, aged 6G years. His remains were deposited 
in the burial ground of the Theological Seminary at Andover, 
August 2, 1853. 

In addition to these varied public services in which Mr. Ed- 
wards was a foremost actox*, very numei'ous were the services 
for the public good in which he cooperated with others. He 
was elected a Trustee of the Theological Seminary in 1820, and 
remained such for thirty -three years, the three last of which he 
was President of the Board. From 1817 he was a member of 
the Executive Committee of the New England Tract Society, 
and in 1821 was elected CoiTCsiJondrng Secretary. On the 
formation of the American Tract Society of New York, he was 
chosen a member of the Publishing Committee, and, with a 
short interval, labored in this connection till his death. He was 
likewise a Director of the American Home Missionary Society, 
and a corporate member of the American Board of Commis- 
sionei's for Foreign Missions. He received the Honorary De- 
gree of Doctor of Divinity from Yale College, 1827.

110 HISTORICAL SKETCHES. 

As indications, also, of his unusual capacity for public service, 
the various calls, piessed upon his attention from various other 
fields of labor and honor, may be adduced. In 1826 he received an 
urgent invitation from Park Street Church, in Boston, to become 
its pastor. He was requested, shortly after, to allow himself to 
be chosen Secretary of the American Home Missionary Society. 
The position of a Professor of Divinity in Hamilton College was 
also proposed to him. The year 1829 brought an invitation to a 
Professorship in a New England College, and overtui-es for the 
Professorship of Sacred Rhetoric in Auburn Theological Serai- 
nary. In 1836 he was chosen Professor of Theology in the 
Theological Seminary at New York. 

Before this capacity for public service, in connection with 
Educational and Benevolent institutions, had been thus mani- 
fested and coveted abroad, it had been shown conspicuously in 
his pastoral life. What he became before the nation and Avorld 
he began to be in the first years after his ordination before his 
own Parish, The interest which he afterwards exhibited in 
behalf of the higher education in colleges and seminaries, he at 
once exhibited in behalf of the district schools of this town. The 
men and women here, who have i)assed their middle age, well 
remember that interest, and often speak of it. In the establish- 
ment, especially, as early as 1814, of "The Andover South 
Parish Society for Doing Good," and, a little later, of its two 
branches, " The Female Charitable Society," and "-The Juvenile 
Missionary Society," he planted the germ of the several great 
national enterprises which occupied his later life. For, in con- 
nection with this society, he commenced, among his own people, 
the Temperance and Sabbath reibrmations. " To discounte- 
Dance particularly intemperance and Sabbath-breaking " was a 
specified object in forming this organization. To accomplish 
these results, Avith all others which make up the total of salva- 
tion from sin, he organized, also, his Sabbath Schools and Bible 
classes, and circulated largely tracts and books. Feeling the 
need and finding the utiHty of these organized forms of action in 



REV. JUSTIN EDWARDS. Ill 

this community, he was anxious to induce others to unite with 
him, and to unite with others, in founding those national societies 
which have done, and are doing, so much to enlighten and purify 
the world. Out of his preparation for his Bible classes, Avhich 
excited so remarkable an interest, grew that body of notes upon 
the Bible, the last and loved labor of his life. When his anno- 
tated Testament was first read by one of the members of these 
Bible classes, she remai'ked, " They read just as if he was speak- 
ing in the vestry." To the fact that his vai'ious plans of 
doing good on a large scale were thus conceived and tried in a 
pastoral experience of fifteen years, and, though largely ex- 
tended, carried out always in the spirit of a wise and loving 
pastor, may we attribute his wonderful and permanent success as 
a public man and reformer. " His habits as a pastor had been a 
series of rehearsals prepai'atory to his career as a lecturer on 
temperance, Sabbath-keeping and the study of the sacred Scrip- 
tures." ^ 

In person. Dr. Edwards was more than ordinarily impressive : 
muscular, erect, tall and stately ; he might seem, to one slightly 
acquainted with him, distant and inaccessible. The stately man- 
ner never forsook him, on public occasions or in the social con- 
verse of the family. But in this was no tinge of austerity or 
gloom. His reserve was allied with a quiet and constant kindli- 
ness of soul. In his silence he was not unsocial. 

" The prominent characteristics of Dr. Edwax'ds were wisdom, 
" simplicity and godly sincerity," sustained by a strong intellect 
and a large heart. He had great self-control, practicalness, 
quick discernment of the best means to attain a good end, energy 
of purpose, and an ever-active, far-reaching benevolence. He 
was wise in devising and equally wise in executing : progressive 
and yet cautious : signally successful, and as signally modest : 
grave and serious in manner, and yet uniformly kind and cour- 
teous. He kept his own counsels, uttered his opinions care-

fully, always evincing moderation, calmness of spirit and a pro- 
found knowledge of men. His power of persuasion, tliough 
unpretending, was often effective. What inimitable simplicity 
of speech ! ' Sound speech, that cannot be condemned,' and 
'always Avith grace.'" ^ 

He is said to have possessed su2ierior ability in profound 
speculation. He could analyze and discriminate acutely on 
abstrusest points. But the majority of his hearers did not think 
of this, for his habits of mind were intensely practical. This 
quality gave the peculiarity of his preaching. It was nakedly 
direct. The arrangement of discourse and the illustration were 
natural and strangely obvious. His manner was that of serious, 
plain, earnest conversation. His whole style and matter were 
Biblical. He thought and spoke, it has been said, in the words 
of Inspiration. " He gave, even to casual observers, the impres- 
sion of being a kind of speaking and walking Bible .... His 
prayers were sometimes composed almost wholly of inspired 
passages, applied with striking felicity to the instant occasion."" 

The doctrinal quality of his preaching was determined by this 
practical and Biblical spirit. His Calvinism was beyond dis- 
pute : though it Avas not obtruded, it was knoAvn : and it became 
a power among the people. He never preached on dividing 
points of orthodoxy. 

He had few of what are popularly considered graces of ora- 
tory. His language, turns of expression, and illustrations, were 
homely. His gestures were few, and not easy. But there was, 
especially in his earlier years, a depth of earnestness and honesty 
of conviction, which would speak out through his whole jierson 
and keep the strict attention of his audience. These qualities 
sometimes seemed to kindle within him the power of imagina- 
tion, imparting an unusual glow to his person, so that many men 
describe the effect of certain of his sermons in language which

no reader of the written sei-mons would be prompted to em- 
ploy. 

" The last six of the fifteen years of his ministry here, were the 
culminating period of his pulpit ability. He had then become a 
recognized force : a living power felt by men, women and chil- 
dren throughout the extended Parish. With an undisputed 
ascendency among his own people, he was known far and near 
as a powerful preacher and a man of eminent practical wisdom : 
.... yet even then he had neither attractiveness nor popularity. 
He had, however, what is so much better, influence, an influence 
growing out of his personal qualities, and accumulating with 
every year of his pastoral life."^ 

Dr. Edwards's publications are as follows : A Sermon at the 
Installation of the Rev. Thaddeus Pomeroy, 1822. The Ser- 
mon : "^ Doing a great Work," 1823. An Address before the 
Porter Rhetorical Society, 1824. A Sermon at the Installation 
of Rev. Frederick Freeman, 1824. A Sermon before the Peni- 
tent Females' Refuge Society, 1825. A Sermon on Bible 
Classes, 1826. A Sermon on tlie Way to be Saved, 1826. 
An Address on the laying of the Corner Stone of the West 
Meeting-House, 1826. A Sermon on the Inspiration of the 
Scriptures, 1827. The Sermon, "The great Change," 1827. 
A Sermon on the Preparation for Eternity, 1829. A Sermon 
on the Unction from the Holy One, 1830. A Letter to the 
friends of Temperance in Massachusetts, 1836. A Sermon 
before the A. B. C. F. M., 1841. He is the author of the fol- 
lowing Ti'acts, published by the American Tract Society : No.

Sinner that Repenteth. No. 179, The way to be Saved. No. 
125, On the Traffic in Ardent Spirits. No. 582, The Unction

On Nov. 2, 1827, the church unanimously invited Mr. Mil- 
ton Badgee to become their pastor. The concurrence of the 
Parish was likewise unanimous. He was ordained Jan. 3, 1828. 

Mr. Badger was born in Coventry, Ct., May 6, 1800: united 
with the church in Andover, Conn., Sept. 1, 1816. He was 
graduated at Yale College in 1823. During 1823-24 he was 
Principal of the Academy in New Canaan, Conn. The three 
succeeding years he spent mostly in Andover Theological Semi- 
nary, with the class which graduated in 1827. He was Tutor 
in Yale College 182G-27. He received his approbation to 
preach from the New Haven East Association in August, 1827. 
He resigned his pastorate in 1835, in order that he might accei)t 
the appointment of Secretary of the American Home Missionary 
Society. The date of his dismission is Oct. 4, 1835. His min- 
istry was a continuous revival. During the seven and a half 
years of its continuance, 330 persons were added to the church, 
nearly all of whom joined by Profession. The memories of the 
pastor under whom these results were reached are still fresh and 
very precious in many families. 

The usual day of Fasting was observed in December, and 
Jan. 18, 183G, Mu. Lorenzo L. Langstuoth was unanimously 
invited by the church to assume the pastoral charge. This invi-

Feb. 2, Ml*. L. was ordained May 11, 1836. Finding his 
heahh inadequate to the discharge of his duties, at the close of a 
ministry of three years he resigned, and was dismissed March 
30, 1839. 

He was born in Philadelphia, Penn., Dec. 25, 1810: was 
graduated at Yale College in 1831. lie received his Theologi- 
cal education at New Haven. On the resignation of his pastoral 
office, he became Principal of the Abbot Female Academy for 
one year. From Andover he removed to Greenfield, where he 
tauglit a High School for Young Ladies four years. During 
the last two or three of these years he preached as a stated sup- 
ply for the Second Congi-egational Church in Greenfield. A 
call from that church was then accepted by him, and his instal- 
lation was on Dec. 20, 1843. He was dismissed Feb. 15, 1848. 
After his dismission he established a Young Ladies' School in 
Philadelphia, which he taught four years, relinquishing it at last, 
as he has so many other cherished plans and hopes, on account of 
ill health. For about two years subsequently he was stated sup- 
ply at Coleraine His present residence is Oxford, Ohio. He 
is the author of an approved treatise on the Honey Bee. 

The choice by the church of the next pastor was made May 
13, 1839. Mr. John L. Taylor received forty-nine votes, 
nine persons at the meeting remaining neutral. At the Parish 
meeting he received forty-two votes, and twelve were cast in the 
negative. He accepted the call, and was ordained July 18, 
1839. May 16, 1852, he communicated to the people his elec- 
tion to the office of Treasurer of the Trustees of Phillips Acad- 
emy, and requested a dismission. In yielding to his wishes the 
church deemed it but just to record their conviction that he had 
" performed the duties of his high office Avith great ability, fidelity 
and discretion," and to assure him that he carried with him their 
" confidence, respect, warm personal attachment and Christian 
sympathy." He was dismissed July 19, 1852, having completed 
a ministry of tliirteen years. 



116 HISTORICAL SKETCHES. 

Mr. Taylor was born at "Warren, Ct., May 20, 1811. He 
was graduated at Yale College in 1835. During the years 
1835-37, he was teacher of a High School at Ellington, Ct. 
He remained as Tutor and student of Divinity at Yale College 
from 1837 to 1839. Shice June 1, 1852, he has been the 
Treasurer of the Board of Trustees of Phillips Academy. He 
published, 1851, a New Year's Sermon, and has since published 
a Memoir of Judge Samuel Phillips. 

The day following the dismission of Mr. Taylor, the church 
chose Rev. Charles Smith as its pastor. Thirty-four votes 
were in his favor : one negative and one blank vote were cast. 
The Parish yielded its concurrence. 

Mr. Smith was born at Hatfield, August 9, 1818. He was 
graduated at Amherst College in 1842, and at Andover Theo- 
logical Seminary in 1845. His ordination and first settlement 
was at Warren, Oct. 12, 1847. His dismission from that charge 
took place April 13, 1852. He was installed here Oct. 28, 

1852. Receiving, the next year, a call from the Shawmut 
Church, Boston, he accepted it, and was dismissed, against the 
earnest wishes of a large portion of this people, Nov. 28, 1853. 
His ordination at Boston took place on the eighth day of December, 

1853. After a prolonged contest before a council, he was dismis-* 
sed from that church, Nov. 8, 1858. He now resides in Hatfield. 

For nearly two years the Parish remained without a stated 
minister. An invitation, with imperfect unanimity, was ex- 
tended to Mr. Jotham B. Sewall [since pastor of the Central 
Church, Lynn], which was declined. A large number of dif- 
ferent candidates were heard. 

June 4, 1855, the church unanimously invited Mr. George 
MoOAR. In this invitation the Parish concurred. The ordina- 
tion Avas on the tenth of October, 1855. 

Mr. IMooar was born in Andover, West Parish, IMay 27, 
1830. He was fitted for college in Phillips Academy, and was 
graduated at Williams College in 1851. After teaching one 
year at Falmouth and Brooklinc, he pursued his theological 
studies at Andover, and was graduated in 1855.

118 HISTORICAL SKETCHES. 

During the 148 years of the existence of the church, the pas- 
toral office has been vacant 7 years 11 months 10 days. The 
longest interval, 3^ years, occurrecT after the death of Mr. 
French. The next longest, of nearly t^vo years, after the resig- 
nation of Mr. Smith. During these intervals, of almost eight 
years, only twenty-six persons were added to communion. For 
the Avhole time the average annual addition has been nearly 
fifteen. 

The average length of pastorates, thus far, has been seventeen 
years and a half. If we add to the years of Mr. Phillips's pas- 
torate the eighteen months during which he preached before his 
ordination, which would make his whole ministry sixty-one 
years, it will be seen that the first two pastorates completed all 
but two years of a century. The six last pastorates have not 
yet completed a half century. The permanency of the pastoral 
relation has not been thus impaired, however, by any action of 
the church or Parish. The initiative, in almost every instance, 
has been taken wholly by the retiring pastor.

DEACONS. 

November 8, 1711, it was " voted to choose two Deacons." 
Sept. 22, 1720, on account of the age of those in office, it was 
deemed necessary to elect two others. In the year 1744 a simi- 
lar reason induced the church to add two to the three then living. 
Since that time the usual number in active service has been four. 
The folloAving tabic shows the succession of these officers to the 
present time. The nineteen, who have completed their terms

XVIII. 

CHURCH COMMITTEE. 

This board of officers originated from the request of Rev. Mr. 
French, made to the church in 1781. April 9th, of that year, 
" the motion was made to choose a committee, in conjunction 
with the Deacons, to assist the pastor in the government of the 
church, whose business it shall be to hear all complaints regularly- 
coming before them, and to settle differences, if it may be done

consistently with the honor of religion, and to inquire into the 
grounds of scandalous reports, if any may arise, etc., — and keep 
a more particular watch over persons, etc., — and to endeavor to 
promote peace and good order among us, — the church at all 
times reserving to themselves the right to inspect their doings, 
and that the said committee continue till the next annual meeting, 
and no longer." This committee, continued afterwards by vote, 
from year to year, obtained the name of Standing Committee. 
In the records of the annual meeting of 1815, appears the tirst 
account of what, for many years, was called the Examining 
Committee. Except in a few instances, this committee consisted 
of the pastor and deacons. January 1859, the two committees 
were reduced to one, and their duties and terms of office defined, 
as may be seen in Articles 4—7 of Church Order. The succession 
of the members of this committee appears in the following table.

CATALOGUE OF MEMBERS. 

The folloAving Catalogue of Members comprises, it is supposed, 
all the names that are recorded on the successive record-books 
of the church. The first and last column is a register of the 
number of church members, down to any given date. In the 
second column the names of the members are given. The spel- 
ling is chiefly according to the record. In case of variations in 
spelling a preference has been shown for the usual mode. The 
variations will be found especially in the names of those belong- 
ing to the Abbot family. A preference has been shown through-

out the work for the spelling with one t : but this is not uniform. 
To the names of some prominent persons, certain facts pertaining 
to them have been added in brackets or parentheses ; as, for in- 
stance, the year and place of Collegiate or Theological gradua- 
tion and the year of ordination, if ministers. "With reference to 
the female names, the following rule has been followed. If the 
person was a maiden at the time of joining the church, and was 
afterwards married, the maiden name is placed in parentheses : 
if. the person .was married before joining the church, the maiden 
name is placed in brackets : if the woman was a widow when 
she joined the church, the husband's name is placed in brackets : 
otherwise in parentheses. These maiden names and husbands' 
names have been mostly supplied by the compiler. A little 
thought will show how easily a mistake might be made in them. 
It should be remembered, too, that from 1812 to 1828 it 
was not stated in the record of a female name whether it was 
the name of a married or unmarried person. It is hoped that 
they have been given in almost all cases correctly. The third 
column shows the date of admission to the church. Column fourth 
shows the manner of admission, whether by letter or profession. 
During the ministry of Mr. Edwards this was not indicated in the 
records. Column fifth gives the date of removal, so far as known. 
Column sixth gives the manner of removal, whether by death, 
dismission or exclusion. With regard to the latter method of re- 
moval, it should be said that Exc. means simply that the person 
30 designated at any given time was declared to be no longer a 
member of the church. The reason for such action can be 
learned from the church records of the specified date. 

In the alphabetical indexes, which follow the Catalogue, the 
number to the left hand of the name refers to the register column 
in the full catalogue. The female name, given in the first index, 
is the name of the person at the time she united with the church. 
Any subsequent name is not indexed. In the second index, 
which contains the names of the present members, the name in- 
dexed is the present name, in all cases.
